Abstract
Wide band quadrature signal generation includes a frequency synthesizer generating a LO or 2×LO signal, a polyphase filter coupled to receive the LO signal and generate first in-phase and quadrature LO signals, a 2:1 frequency divider coupled to receive the 2×LO signal and generate second in-phase and quadrature LO signals, and a LO signal selector for selecting either the first or second in-phase LO signals as an output in-phase LO signal and either the first or second quadrature LO signals as an output quadrature LO signal based on an output frequency. In some embodiments, when the output frequency is above a threshold, the first in-phase and quadrature LO signals are selected as the output in-phase and quadrature LO signals and when the output frequency is at or below the threshold, the second in-phase and quadrature LO signals are selected as the output in-phase and quadrature LO signals.
