Abstract
Aspects described herein include devices and methods for phase lock loop (PLL) output sharing between multiple communication chains in a wireless communication apparatus. In one aspect, an apparatus includes phase locked loop (PLL) circuitry having a shared PLL output, radar signal generation circuitry, a first transmission chain coupled to the shared PLL output and the radar signal generation circuitry, and a second transmission chain coupled to the shared PLL output and the radar signal generation circuitry.
