Abstract
This disclosure describes designs for a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO). The DCO can overcome many of the shortcomings associated with conventional voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs), and may improve wireless communication devices. The described DCO may improve the frequency synthesis process, reduce noise in a wireless communication device, and allow for simplification of various components of the device.
