Abstract
In a PLL circuit, first an ILFD is connected to an output voltage Vtune from an LPF, thereby causing the ILFD to operate as an oscillator. The ILFD, a DIV, PFD, CP, and LPF form a PLL and thereby locking operations are initiated. When a predetermined time elapses, an output frequency from the ILFD converges into a certain value and the PLL is subjected to a locked state. After the locked state is reached, a sample hold circuit SH holds the output voltage Vtune from the loop filter as of that time and frequency adjustment of the ILFD is completed. Similar frequency adjustment is sequentially performed on other ILFDs.
