Abstract
A frequency synthesizer for mixing reference frequencies using at least one control signal has a local oscillator, frequency dividers for dividing a frequency generated from the local oscillator and generating at least one control signal, and a single side band (SSB) mixer for mixing the reference frequencies, using the frequency generated from the local oscillator and the control signal. The frequency synthesizer has a simplified structure, and can easily mix reference frequency signals without a need for additional power.
