Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for generating a synthesized signal. A frequency synthesizer is used. The frequency synthesizer includes an input interface configured to receive an input signal having a reference frequency; a phase locked loop (PLL) coupled to the input interface, having a fractional N configuration and comprises a voltage controlled oscillator; wherein the voltage controlled oscillator is configured to generate the synthesized signal; and the voltage controlled oscillator includes an on-chip inductor.
