Patent ID: 6963620

Claim:
A method for generating oscillation signals, comprising: generating a first oscillation signal from a reference oscillation signal; and generating a second oscillation signal from the reference oscillation signal; wherein the first oscillation signal and the second oscillation signal relative are non-harmonically related relative to a desired carrier frequency, wherein the first oscillation signal is equal to N 1 M 1 ⁢ F C and the second oscillation signal is equal to N 2 M 2 ⁢ F C , where F c is said desired carrier frequency, and wherein: [ N 1 M 1 + N 2 M 2 ] = 1 , where ⁢ ⁢ M i ⁢ ⁢ and ⁢ ⁢ N i ⁢ ⁢ are ⁢ ⁢ integer ⁢ ⁢ numbers , ⁢ N i M i × K ≠ 1 , where ⁢ ⁢ K ⁢ ⁢ is ⁢ ⁢ an ⁢ ⁢ integer ⁢ ⁢ number ⁢ and ⁢ ⁢ i ⁢ ⁢ is ⁢ ⁢ an ⁢ ⁢ integer ⁢ ⁢ number , and ⁢ ⁢ N 1 M 1 × S R = N 2 M 2 , where ⁢ ⁢ S ⁢ ⁢ and ⁢ ⁢ R ⁢ ⁢ are ⁢ ⁢ integer ⁢ ⁢ numbers . ⁢
