System and method for synchronizing a plurality of oscillators with the use of a reduced frequency signaling

摘要

An embodiment of a method for the control of a voltage-controlled oscillator (voltage - controlled oscillator (vco) comprises a detecting a first vco - output signal of a first vco. The first vco - output signal has a first vco - output frequency. The method also includes a determining a first downward scaled signal according to the first vco - output signal. The first downwardly scaled signal has a first downward scaled frequency, which is located around a fixed ratio relative to a momentary value of the first vco - output frequency is reduced. The method also includes a modifying the first vco - output frequency with the use of a first phase locked loop (phase locked loop, pll) according to the first downwardly scaled signal and an oscillating reference signal, and a detecting a second vco - output signal of a second vco. The second vco - output signal has a second vco - output frequency. The method also includes a modifying the second vco - output frequency according to the second vco - output signal and the first downwardly scaled signal.
