Abstract
In this paper, a frequency synthesizer for X-band FMCW radars is proposed. Some X-band FMCW radars have been used as a level sensor for tanker ship and the resolution of the level sensor may be mainly depend on linearity of frequency sweep. For a linear frequency sweep. the proposed synthesizer employs a phase-locked loop using prescalars and a high speed digital PLL chip. The measured results show that the linear frequency sweep range is from 10 GHz to 11 GHz and the output power of the synthesizer is minium 7 dBm. and the phase noise is about -80 dBc/Hz at 100 KHz offset from 11 GHz.
