An Approach of Developing High Performance Millimeter-wave Frequency Synthesizer

In this paper, an approach of developing high performance millimeter-wave frequency synthesizer is proposed, which is significantly simpler than the conventional cases. The synthesizer is driven by one triple tuned typed synthesizer, which adjusts the output frequency of DDS and frequency division ratios of variable frequency divider to suppress the spurious level. With the proposed method, a microwave phase locked loop (PLL) PE3236 and a millimeter-wave multiplier HMC283 are also used. Moreover, the PLL is implemented with the form of charge pump followed by a passive three-order low-pass filter which can further suppress the phase noise. Finally, a low spurious level and high frequency resolution millimeter-wave frequency synthesizer without degradation of frequency switching speed is developed. Experimental results show that this method can achieve the performances of low spurious level, low phase noise, and high frequency resolution.     

Phase Noise Analysis and Estimate of Millimeter Wave PLL Frequency Synthesizer

Phase noise is an important index in evaluating the performance of millimeter wave (MMW) frequency source. Because of the high frequency, it is difficult to measure its phase noise directly. So it is very necessary to find new methods for estimating it effectively and easily. In this paper, the main factors affecting phase noise of MMW PLL frequency source are analyzed, and then a new method to estimate the phase noise is presented, which is based on the comparison of the phase noise of microwave phase-locked frequency source with phase-locked intermediate frequency in MMW phase-locked loop. In order to demonstrate the validity of this method of phase noise estimate, it is applied to estimate the phase noise of 95GHz double PLL frequency synthesizer. The result shows that the theoretical estimate value is well coincident with the experimental value.
