Abstract
Provided is a frequency synthesizer capable of fine setting over a wide band and having a wide frequency pull-in range. A sine wave signal of an output frequency of a voltage controlled oscillating part is quadrature-detected, and in a PLL utilizing a vector rotating at a frequency (velocity) equal to a difference from a frequency of a frequency signal used for the detection, a frequency pull-in means integrates a first constant for increasing the output frequency as a pull-in voltage when a control voltage from the PLL to the voltage controlled oscillating part is larger than a prescribed set range, and integrates a second constant for decreasing the output frequency as the pull-in voltage when the control voltage is smaller than the set range. Then, an adding means adds the control voltage from the PLL and the pull-in voltage from the frequency pull-in means to output an addition result to the voltage controlled oscillating part.
