Abstract

A method and/or apparatus for tuning a frequency synthesizer device toward a prescribed frequency may input a signal into the input of the frequency synthesizer to produce an output signal having an output frequency, select a first one of a set of the above noted prescribed coarse curves, and compare the magnitude of the difference between the prescribed frequency and the output frequency. Next, the method selects a second of the set of coarse curves as a function of the magnitude of the difference between the prescribed frequency and the output frequency. Preferably, the method selects the second of the set of coarse curves by selecting one or more of the coarse curves out of the sequential frequency order as a function of the magnitude of the difference between the prescribed frequency and the output frequency.
