Abstract:
There is disclosed an apparatus comprising a first phase-locked loop comprising: a phase detector ( 302, 304 ), arranged to receive a reference clock signal ( 306 ) and a feedback clock signal ( 308 ) and to output a frequency control signal based on a phase difference between the reference clock signal ( 306 ) and the feedback clock signal ( 308 ); a variable-frequency oscillator ( 312, 314 ) arranged to output an oscillator signal having a frequency dependent on said frequency control signal; first divider circuitry ( 316 ) for generating said feedback clock signal ( 308 ) by frequency-dividing said oscillator signal; and second divider circuitry ( 320 ) for generating an output clock signal ( 3220  by frequency-dividing said oscillator signal; wherein a phase relation between said first divider circuitry ( 316 ) and said second divider circuitry ( 320 ) is adjustable to delay or advance said output clock signal ( 322 ) relative to said feedback clock signal ( 308 ). The apparatus may be a radar receiver or transceiver.

Claim (Index 5):
The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein said first slave divider is configured to re-clock a selected one of four phase outputs of said first master divider.
