Abstract:
1. A method comprising: selecting, as an output frequency of a voltage-controlled oscillator, a destination frequency from a plurality of frequencies, each of the plurality of frequencies corresponding to a wireless communication channel, the output frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator adjustable via a capacitance of a capacitance band of the voltage-controlled oscillator; determining whether a look-up table of precalibration information for one or more of the plurality of frequencies includes precalibration information for the selected destination frequency; determining, from the selected destination frequency, an offset to another one of the plurality of frequencies for which the look-up table includes precalibration information when the look-up table does not include precalibration information for the selected destination frequency; and adjusting, based on the offset and the precalibration information for the other one of the plurality of frequencies, the capacitance of the capacitance band to settle the output frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator at the selected destination frequency.
