Abstract:
1. A transmitter comprising: frequency generating means for generating a first signal at a first frequency, said frequency generating means including first tank means for resonating at said first frequency; frequency multiplication means for multiplying said first signal by an integral multiple of a fundamental frequency of said first signal, said frequency multiplication means including second tank means for resonating at an harmonic frequency of said fundamental frequency, said harmonic frequency being determined by said integral multiple, and said frequency multiplication means including output means for outputting a second signal at said harmonic frequency, said first tank means being highly frequency selective around said first frequency, and said second tank means being highly frequency selective around said harmonic frequency; tuning means for simultaneously tuning said first and second tank means; and up-converting means using said second signal for up-conversion of a transmit signal.
