Abstract
A high-frequency signal processing device having a frequency synthesizer (PLL: Phase Locked Loop) is provided. A control circuit measures oscillation frequencies obtained upon setting a bias current of an oscillation circuit to first and second bias setting values and acquires a frequency difference amount of the oscillation frequencies. The frequency difference amount may be acquired as difference amount of setting values of a coarse adjustment capacitance setting signal (CTRM) using, for example, an automatic frequency selector unit. The control circuit retains a relationship of a difference amount of bias setting values and a difference value of setting values of the CTRM and approximating the relationship to a linear function. Thereafter, the control circuit defines, upon switching the bias current during locking of the PLL, the CTRM based on the linear function and switches the CTRM together with the bias current.
