The system has: a set of at least two electric current generators, at least one capacitor and activation/deactivation devices for the electric current generators; the electric current generator being connected in parallel with one another and the capacitor being connected in series with the electric current generators, the activation/deactivation devices controlling the generators by a digital stream allowing control of the intensity of the electric current entering the capacitor and generating a trapezoidal voltage signal at the terminals of the capacitor, the analog signal being reconstructed through interpolation of the trapezoidal signal.

System for generating an analogue signal

A fractional frequency divider including a frequency division unit for generating a reduced frequency timing signal having j pulses for every k pulses of an original timing signal, wherein j and k are each integers; and phase correction circuitry adapted to selectively shift each jth pulse of the reduced frequency timing signal by a first fixed time period.
