Abstract
For example, an apparatus may include a digitally-controlled frequency multiplier, which may be controllable according to a digital control input, to generate an output frequency signal having an output frequency, for example, by multiplying an input frequency of an input frequency signal. For example, the digitally-controlled frequency multiplier may include a phase generator configured to generate a plurality of phase-shifted signal groups corresponding to a respective plurality of first phase-shifts applied to the input frequency signal, a plurality of digital clock multipliers controllable according to the digital control input to generate a respective plurality of frequency-multiplied signals based on the plurality of phase-shifted signal groups, and a combiner to generate the output frequency signal based on a combination of the plurality of frequency-multiplied signals.
