9.8GHz RF CW Signal Generator Using Integrated Synthesizer With Spur Reduction Reference Design

Description

This design is a 9.8-GHz wideband: low-phase noise: integrated continuous wave (CW) RF signal generator with versatile spur reduction technique. The output level can be programmed from -32 dBm to 14.5 dBm in 0.5-dB steps. This signal generator can be used as local oscillator for applications: such as analog and vector signal generator: and can also be used as a clock generator for RF ADCs. The TIDA-00626 can be controlled from any PC via the TI USB2ANY interface and also using the microcontroller MSP430F5529 launch pad.

Features
  • Integrated wideband frequency synthesizer with output range of 0.02 GHz to 9.8 GHzExcellent phase-noise performance; synthesizer phase noise at 6 GHz: -110 dBc/Hz at 100-KHz offset: -132 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offsetLow-noise synthesizer: in-band spurs (-75 dBc)Programmable output level 14.5 dBm to -32 dBm: 0.5-dB stepsVersatile boundary spurs reduction using LMK61E2
