Abstract:
According to some embodiments, an apparatus for generating multiple variable frequency and phase locked clock signals comprises complex tuners, digital up-samplers, image isolation filters, quadrature modulators, a combiner, a DAC, a local oscillator, and an analog filter. The complex tuners tune multiple digital baseband signals. The up-samplers interpolate the complex tuned digital signals such that one of the up-sampled images of each of the complex tuned digital signals corresponds to a desired frequency. The image isolation filters isolate images corresponding to the desired frequencies. The quadrature modulators convert the isolated images of the complex tuned digital signals into real digital signals. The combiner combines the real digital signals into a combined real digital signal. The DAC, driven by the local oscillator, converts the combined real digital signal into an analog clock signal. The analog filter then filters the analog clock signal to select images located at the desired frequencies.
