Popis: In this paper we present a Built-In Self-Test (BIST) technique to measure the natural resonance frequency of oscillators which are design to set a much higher than the working speed of most of the current Automated Test Equipment (ATE). Based on an asynchronous counter, the BIST answers by a digital output code proportional to the frequency of the oscillator under test. The efficiency of the suggested BIST is demonstrated on an ultra wideband transceiver, which communication frequency range si set in a band from 7.25GHz to 8.5GHz.
