The study aims to a design hybrid frequency synthesizer in spectrum analyzer and to propose new techniques designed for evasion of in-band spurious. The study focuses on calculating the exact location of multiple phase locked loop of hybrid frequency synthesizer and spurious of direct digital synthesizer to evade in-band spurious outside of frequency range that the user wants to see and thereby simulating technique to improve input related spurious of spectrum analyzer for algorithm. The proposed technique is designed to calculate spurious evasion algorithm in central processing system when in-band spurious arises, and to move output frequency of DDS(direct digital synthesizer) into the place where no in-band spurious exists thereby improving performance of frequency synthesizer. The study used simulation and result representation to prove the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

In this paper, we designed a frequency synthesizer with a low phase noise and fast lock time and excellent spurious characteristics using the offset-PLL(Phase Locked Loop) that is used in GSM(Global System for Mobile communications). The proposed frequency synthesizer has low phase noise using three times down conversion and third offset frequency of this synthesizer is created by DDS(Direct Digital Synthesizer) to have high frequency resolution. Also, this synthesizer has fast switching speed using DAC(Digital to Analog Converter). but phase noise degraded due to DAC. we improved performance using the DAC noise filter.

A CMOS frequency synthesizer block for multi-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing ultra-wideband systems is proposed. The proposed frequency synthesizer adopts a double-conversion architecture for simplicity and to mitigate spur suppression requirements for out-of-band interferers in 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. Moreover, the frequency synthesizer can consist of the fewest nonlinear components, such as divide-by-Ns and a mixer with the proposed frequency plan, leading to the generation of less spurs. To evaluate the feasibility of the proposed idea, the frequency synthesizer block is implemented in 0.18-${\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The measured sideband suppression ratio is about 32 dBc, and the phase noise is -105 dBc/Hz at an offset of 1 MHz. The fabricated chip consumes 17.6 mA from a 1.8 V supply, and the die-area including pads is $0.9{\times}1.1\;mm^2$.

The frequency synthesizer for Fast Frequency Hopping System musy be capable of a fast tuning with a small step frequency over wide band. The most conventional frequency synthesizer that uses the phase locked loop (PLL) enables the wide band problem but have a poor side of the low resolution and the transient response. In this paper, we have discussed the experimental results of a direct digital frequency synthesizer which can be applicable to the Fast Frequency Hopping System, using digital-to-analoq (D/A)conversion techniques. With this system we can find the merits of a fine resolution and the possibility of a fast tuning leaving the problems of transent frequency.

Agile frequency synthesizers are the common device used for commandable, wide-band frequency hopping in frequency-hopped (FH) communications. In this paper, synthesizer phase transient effect and its compensation methods in an FH/FSK(Frequency Hopped Frequency Shift Keying) system are studied. Models for these analysis are developed and resulting performance degradations are computed. The basic PLL is difficult to implement for fast frequency hopping in narrowband radio communication systems. To solve this problem, digital frequency synthesizer/CPM (Continuous Phase Modulation)modulator is proposed. And it's performance is analyzed theoretically. The analysis show that fast frequency hopping is possible in frequency hopping system that use digital frequency synthesizer/CPM modulator.

The PLL synthesizer is used in communication system until now because it have several merits, such as broad bandwidth, high accuracy and stability of frequency But it is difficult to use in the third generation mobile communication systems that need frequency hopping at a high speed because of its long frequency hopping time. In this paper, we designed the frequency synthesizer that generate frequencies randomly at a high speed using the DDS technology.

In this paper, a 6~13 GHz ultra high speed frequency synthesizer having minimum 30 kHz step size and minimum 500 ns frequency settling time is proposed. In order to obtain fast settling time, fine resolution, and good phase noise performance, wideband output frequencies were synthesized based on DDS(Direct Digital Synthesizer) and analog direct frequency synthesis technology. The phase noise performance of wideband frequency synthesizer was estimated by the superposition theory and its results were compared with measured ones. The measured frequency settling time was below 500 ns, phase noise was below -106 dBc @ 10 kHz at 13 GHz, and frequency accuracy was measured below ${\pm}2kHz$.

In this paper, we implemented a Ka-band frequency synthesizer for millimeter wave seeker. we designed for high frequency resolution and frequency hopping response time in the digital synthesis method which uses DDS(Direct Digital Synthesizer). but frequency bandwidth was limited low frequency because DDS output frequency was limited 1/2 by system clock. thus, frequency synthesizer was converted to Ka-band using the frequency multiplier ${\times}4$ and local oscillator. proposed frequency synthesizer was bandwidth 500MHz, frequency switching time was $0.7{\mu}s$, spurious level was suppressed below -52dBc. phase noise was -99dBc/Hz at offset 100kHz and flatness was ${\pm}1dB$.

A frequency synthesizer of 10 GHz $\sim$ 11 GHz for FMCW radar is designed and implemented by the form of indirect frequency synthesizer of a single loop structure. The synthesizer uses a high speed digital PLL chip. It is difficult to divide directly by using a program counter of PLL chip because the output frequency of VCO is 10 GHz $\sim$ 11 GHz, so we lower the frequency to 625 MHz $\sim$ 687.5 MHz by using a prescaler, and then divide the frequency by the program counter. The output frequency sweep of VCO from 10 GHz to 11 GHz is measured.
