Abstract
The invention relates to a digital signal generator for providing one or more phases of a local oscillator signal for use in digital to analogue converters and harmonic rejection mixers. Embodiments disclosed include a local oscillator signal generator () for a mixer of a radiofrequency receiver, the signal generator () comprising a bit sequence generator () having a plurality of parallel output lines (), a digital signal generator () having a serial output line () and a plurality of input lines connected to respective output lines () of the bit sequence generator () and a clock signal input line (), wherein the digital signal generator () is configured to provide an output bit sequence on the serial output line () at a rate given by a clock signal provided on the clock signal input line () and a sequence given by a sequence of bits from the bit sequence generator () on the plurality of input lines ().
