Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 14:
15. An electronic device comprising:
a transceiver comprising a voltage-controlled oscillator comprising a first core and a second core and switching circuitry configured to couple the voltage-controlled oscillator to a first supply voltage and a second supply voltage; and
processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the voltage-controlled oscillator, the processing circuitry configured to
operate the voltage-controlled oscillator in a first mode by coupling the voltage-controlled oscillator to the first supply voltage via the switching circuitry, and
cause the voltage-controlled oscillator to transition to operating in a second mode by coupling the voltage-controlled oscillator to the second supply voltage via the switching circuitry, the first mode associated with a first voltage of the first core being in-phase with a second voltage of the second core and the second mode associated with the first voltage being out-of-phase with the second voltage, or the first mode associated with the first voltage being out-of-phase with a second voltage and the second mode associated with the first voltage being in-phase with the second voltage.
