Abstract

In a Time Division Multiple Access System, multiple offset values are provided to a divider control circuit (213) of a fractional-N synthesizer (200) by utilizing a microprocessor (305). The microprocessor (305) utilizes timeslot information provided to it by a timeslot selector (301), frequency information provided to it by a frequency selector (303) and a read-only memory (307), to provide offset values to the divider control circuit (213).
