Summary of Auto Band Selection Algorithm n n Band Selection is necessary for the RF and IF VCOs in order to overcome the VCO frequency drift due to the process and temperature variations. The proposed Band Selection Algorithm takes 2 sec per band less than 20 sec(RF)/12 sec(IF) to accomplish Automatic Band Selection. Frequency comparison is made through counting the frequency of f. RF/8 signal during 1 sec (all digital solution. ) Small overhead in silicon area and No Extra Current Consumption.
