Patent ID: 8391803

Claim:
A device comprising: at least one configurable local-oscillator (LO) generator to receive an input frequency signal and a plurality of configurable input values and to convert the input frequency signal into at least one output frequency signal according to a configurable conversion ratio, which is based on a combination of the configurable input values, wherein the configurable LO generator comprises: first and second frequency mixers; a first programmable divider to generate a first divider output by dividing a first mixer output of the first mixer by a first configurable input value of said plurality of configurable input values; and a second programmable divider to generate a second divider output by dividing a second mixer output of the second mixer by a second configurable input value of said plurality of configurable input values, wherein the first frequency mixer is to generate the first mixer output based on the second divider output, and the second frequency mixer is to generate the second mixer output based on the first divider output.
