Abstract: A signal generator including a calibration circuit for providing periodic recalibration of the generator, including a reference frequency source for producing a fixed frequency signal. A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) for producing a variable frequency signal in accordance with a voltage input to the VCO. An adjustable dividing network coupled to the VCO for dividing the variable frequency signal by a particular divider (N) to produce an output signal equal to the variable frequency signal divided by "N". A phase detector coupled to the reference frequency source and the dividing network for producing an error signal in accordance with the difference between the fixed frequency signal and the output signal. A filter coupled to the phase detector for producing an error voltage signal representative of the error signal. A programmable nonvolatile storage for storing a plurality of individual values representative of the plurality of frequency steps from the VCO.
