Abstract

In this paper, Phase locked microwave oscillator having the low phase noise and high stability for digital MMDS down converter was designed. we have been analyzed the low phase noise properties by the active device nonlinear equivalent circuits and derived the necessary and sufficient conditions for high stable voltage control oscillator. And it is applied to phase locked loop, we design the phase locked microwave oscillator of frequency synthesizer. Experimental results of designed phase locked oscillator shows -85dBc/Hz @ 10KHz phase noise properties and simulation result is -90Bc/Hz @ 10kHz respectively we shows that proposed low phase noise and stable conditions of phase locked microwave oscillator can be applied to design the high stable digital MMDS frequency synthesizer.

본 논문에서는 저 위상잡음과 고안정 특성을 나타내는 디지털 MMDS용 위상고정 발진기를 설계하였으며 전압제어 발진기용 능동소자의 비선형 등가모델에 의하여 저 위상잡음 파라미터와 안정된 전압제어 발진기의 필요충분 조건을 분석하였다. 설계된 전압제어 발진기에 위상고정루프를 적용하여 위상고정 마이크로파 발진기를 구현하였으며 고안정 전압제어 발진기에 대하여 시뮬레이션한 결과 －90dBc/Hz @ 10KHz의 위상잡음을 보였으며 위상고정 마이크로파 발진기에 대한 실험 결과 －85dBc/Hz @ 10KHz의 위상잡음을 얻었다. 고안정도와 저 위상잡음특성을 나타내는 위상고정 마이크로파 발진기의 설계모델을 디지털 MMDS 단말기용 고안정 주파수 합성기로 응용할 수 있음을 보였다.
