Abstract

A clock modulation module and method for generating a modulated clock signal are provided. The clock modulation module comprises a comparator arranged to receive at a first input thereof a waveform signal, the waveform signal comprising a frequency representative of a frequency of a reference timing signal. The comparator is further arranged to receive at a second input thereof a reference voltage signal, and to output a modulated timing signal based on a comparison of the waveform signal and the reference voltage signal. Wherein the clock modulation module is arranged to output a modulated clock signal derived at least partly from the modulated timing signal output by the comparator.
