Abstract
Embodiments of this disclosure include methods in which spurs generated by the drifting of an oscillation frequency of an oscillation signal provided by a free-running oscillator may be minimized and/or eliminated from an output signal of a phase locked loop (PLL). Methods include adjusting the free-running oscillator to prevent the oscillation frequency from drifting so that the spurs are eliminated. Performance data generated when the communications device engages a communications channel that is known not to generate spurs is compared to performance data generated when the communications device engages a desired communications channel. The free-running oscillator is adjusted until the two types of performance data are matched. Other methods include adjusting the dithering module of the PLL to prevent the oscillation frequency from drifting so that the spurs are eliminated.
