Zusammenfassung:An automatic gain adjustor for a hybrid oscillator can be employed to overcome the frequency limitations of hybrid phase lock loops (PLLs). For example, an automatic gain adjustor for a hybrid oscillator can include a hybrid oscillator that is configured to receive a coarse tuning signal and a gain adjustment signal and generate an output signal with any frequency within the specified frequency range of the hybrid PLL. The automatic gain adjustor for a hybrid PLL may further include a fine tuning array that receives one or more fine tuning selection signals and generates a gain adjustment signal that is received by the hybrid oscillator. The fine tuning array generates a gain adjustment signal to adjust the gain of the hybrid oscillator according to an operating frequency range of the hybrid oscillator.
