Phase locked loop, phase locked loop arrangement, transmitter and receiver and method for providing an oscillator signal

Abstract

A phase locked loop, for a particularly in a beamforming system comprises a digital loop filter to provide a digital control word to a controllable oscillator; a frequency divider configured to provide a first feedback signal and a second feedback signal in response to an oscillator signal, the second feedback signal delayed with respect to the first feedback signal; a first comparator path configured to receive the first feedback signal and a second comparator path configured to receive the second feedback signal, each of the first and second comparator path configured to provide a respective phase delay signal to the digital loop filter in response to a respective adjustment signal and a phase deviation between a common reference signal and the respective feedback signal.
