Abstract: A method is disclosed, performed by a network node, for transmission of a number of Synchronization Signal Blocks, SSBs, over a number of frequency resources to one or more wireless devices. Each SSB is associated with a corresponding beam. The method comprises broadcasting the SSBs according to a periodic sequence of frequency allocations for transmission of SSBs. The periodic sequence has a period where a first frequency resource is allocated to a first SSB and a second frequency resource is allocated to a second SSB, wherein the second frequency resource and the first frequency resource are different.

Abstract: A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is tunable over a wide frequency range while exhibiting low phase noise by dynamically switching between two or more voltage/frequency operating curves. Reference voltages establish switching thresholds for each operating curve. A control circuit compares the VCO tuning voltage to the reference threshold voltages, and based on that comparison and its previous outputs, generates switching signals effective to selectively couple and decouple one or more frequency altering devices to the VCO.
