Summary:A frequency estimator for estimating a frequency, including a counter configured to count an integer number of full clock cycles during a measurement time window; a Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) configured to measure a fraction of a clock cycle during the measurement time window; and a processor configured to determine the estimated frequency based on the counted number of full clock cycles and the measured fraction of the clock cycle.
