摘要
In this letter, the design of a low phase noise frequency synthesizer is presented. The synthesizer was designed to produce four frequencies: 10 MHz, 100 MHz, 1 GHz and 10 GHz. The 1-GHz signal is produced by frequency division whereas the 100-MHz output is generated by phase-locking a low phase noise oscillator to the 1-GHz signal, hence significantly reducing its phase noise. Both residual and total phase noise measurements are presented.
