METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AN INTEGRATED VCO AND LOCAL OSCILLATOR ARCHITECTURE FOR AN INTEGRATED FM TRANSMITTER AND FM RECEIVER

摘要

Aspects of a method and system for an integrated local oscillator generator for an integrated FM radio are provided. In this regard, a FM radio receive path and/or a FM radio transmit path may utilize one or more signals which are a frequency scaled version of a generated signal. In this regard, the frequency scaling may be performed by one or more configurable frequency dividers which may be programmably controlled by a processor. The generated signal may be in the range of about 990 MHz to 1190 MHz such that harmonics of the generated signal do not interfere with coexistent wireless technologies. Additionally the frequency scaled version may be in the frequency range of about 76 MHz to 108 MHz such that FM Radio signals in a FM broadcast band may be transmitted and/or received. The frequency scaled versions of the generated signal may comprise in-phase and quadrature components and may be utilized to up-convert and/or down-convert FM radio signals.
