<p>A communication device including a plurality of frequency synthesizers (24, 28, 30). At least one of the frequency synthesizers (24) is driven with a reference frequency from a crystal oscillator (58). The at least one frequency synthesizer (24) includes a phase locked loop with a fractional-N divider (48) which is programmed by a control circuit (64) to vary as a function of temperature compensation, frequency compensation, and a frequency multiplication factor. The output (46) of the at least one frequency synthesizer (24) is used to provide a compensated reference frequency input for the remaining frequency synthesizers (28, 30). The radio provides all the frequency synthesizers (24, 28, 30) with temperature and frequency compensation using a reference frequency from a crystal oscillator (58) and only one high resolution frequency compensating synthesizer (24).</p> |
