Abstract

A method for a frequency synthesizer with adaptive loop bandwidth is disclosed, which is adjusted by the improved frequency synthesizer includes a phase-locked loop and a phase-locked loop adjustment circuit. The phase-locked loop has loop characteristics including a loop bandwidth, a natural frequency, a damping factor, and the like. The phase-locked loop adjustment circuit is adjusted in response to a change in output frequency.
