US 2022/0352878 A1 · Multimode Frequency Multiplier

Abstract

This disclosure describes apparatuses, methods, and techniques for implementing a multimode frequency multiplier. In example implementations, an apparatus for generating a frequency includes a multimode frequency multiplier. The multimode frequency multiplier includes a multiphase generator and a reconfigurable frequency multiplier. The multiphase generator is configured to produce a first signal including multiple phase components and having a first frequency. The reconfigurable frequency multiplier is coupled in series with the multiphase generator. The reconfigurable frequency multiplier is configured to produce a second signal based on the first signal and having a second frequency that is a multiple of the first frequency.
