Title
A Dds-Based Pll For 2.4-Ghz Frequency Synthesis
Abstract
In this transactions brief, we present a direct digital synthesizer (DDS)-based phase-locked loop (PLL), for frequency synthesis at 2.4 GHz with 80-MHz tuning range. The DDS signal is mixed with the voltage-control oscillatior output in the PLL feedback path. This solution helps in avoiding some of the typical tradeoffs; in PLL. In particular, it is possible to achieve a very high-frequency resolution together with fast settling and spectral purity. These characteristics are often incompatible both in integer and fractional dividers PLL. A prototype was fabricated on PCBs and tested. The settling time is about 3 mus for 0.1 ppm (240 Hz) accuracy. Worst-case spurs are -53 dBc at 8-MHz offset from the carrier. The integrated phase noise in the band 1 kHz -1 MHz is 0.9degrees rms. This architecture is also suitable for direct frequency modulation, without necessitating any calibration system.
