Patent ID: 7782927

Claim:
An arrangement for generating a transmission clock signal and a reception clock signal for a transceiver, comprising: an oscillator configured to generate a clock signal, wherein the oscillator comprises a coarse-control input for a coarse-control signal and a fine-control input for a fine-control signal, for setting the frequency of the clock signal; a clock generator configured to generate the transmission clock signal from the clock signal; a phase-adjustor connected to the oscillator, configured to generate the reception clock signal by adjusting the phase of a signal derived from the clock signal to the phase of a received signal received signal received by the transceiver or a signal derived from the received signal; and a controller configured to initialize the oscillator by performing the following: setting of the fine-control signal to a minimum value; setting of the coarse-control signal to a minimum value; raising of the coarse-control signal step-by step until a feedback signal, derived from the clock signal, is of a higher frequency than a reference signal; storing a value obtained in the raising of the coarse-control signal as a first reference value; setting of the fine-control signal to a maximum value; setting of the coarse-control signal to a maximum value; lowering of the coarse-control signal step-by-step until the feedback signal is of a lower frequency than the reference signal; storing a value obtained in the lowering of the coarse-control signal as a second reference value; and setting of the coarse-control signal to an average value obtained from the first reference value and the second reference value.
