Patent ID: 8593190

Claim:
A frequency generator for radiofrequency equipment for generating an output signal having a predetermined output frequency, the frequency generator comprising: a local oscillator to generate a reference signal having a reference frequency, a phase-locked loop, the phase-locked loop provided with a controlled oscillator generating the output signal having the output frequency as a function of the signal at its input, and a comparator providing a signal to the controlled oscillator as a function of at least one of a phase or frequency comparison of a first comparison signal based on an input signal applied to a first input of the phase-locked loop with a second comparison signal based on the output signal, wherein the frequency generator also includes at least one harmonic generator adapted to generate, from the reference signal, a harmonic signal including a predetermined harmonic of the reference signal, the frequency generator being adapted to apply the harmonic signal of one of the harmonic generators to the first input of the phase-locked loop.
