Pll for carrier generator and method of generating carrier signals

A carrier generator comprising:

• a front-end circuit configured to
• receive a frequency reference signal and a feedback signal, and
• generate a control signal based on the frequency reference signal and the feedback signal;
• and
• a carrier signal circuit comprising a plurality of tuning arrangements, the carrier signal circuit being configured to
• receive the control signal and a selector signal,
• selectively distribute the control signal to the plurality of tuning arrangements based on the selector signal,
• generate a plurality of carrier signals with the plurality of tuning arrangements based on the control signal, and
• generate the feedback signal from the plurality of carrier signals based on the selector signal.

A method of generating a plurality of carrier signals, the method comprising:

• generating, using a front-end circuit, a control signal based on a frequency reference signal and a feedback signal;
• receiving the command signal at a plurality of tuning arrangements;
• generating, with the plurality of tuning arrangements, a plurality of carrier signals;
• and
• generating the feedback signal by time-multiplexing the plurality of carrier signals.
