Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a splitter to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal that provides a cable spectrum and to provide the RF signal to a plurality of channels each to process a band of a predetermined width of the cable spectrum, wherein each of the plurality of channels comprises: a clock generation circuit including a frequency synthesizer to generate a reference clock signal, a plurality of first dividers and a plurality of interpolative dividers, each of the plurality of first dividers to generate a corresponding LO signal from the reference clock signal according to an integer ratio and to provide the corresponding LO signal to the mixer of at least one of the plurality of channels, the plurality of interpolative dividers to generate a corresponding LO signal from the reference clock signal according to a fractional ratio and to provide the corresponding LO signal to the mixer of at least one of the plurality of channels.
