Abstract

A signal generating apparatus is disclosed for generating a synthesized signal according to an input signal, the signal generating apparatus includes a phase-locked loop device for generating the synthesized signal; a control unit for controlling the control signal generator to adjust the control signal in a calibration mode to thereby adjust a frequency of the synthesized signal, wherein the phase/frequency detector does not output the detected signal to the control signal generator in the calibration mode; a detecting device for detecting the synthesized signal to generate a calibrating signal in the calibration mode; a filtering device for filtering the input signal and calibrating the input signal according to the calibrating signal to generate a filtered signal; and a modulating device for modulating the filtered signal to generate the dividing factor.
