In this paper, we designed and analysed K-band front-end module for digital microwave communication system receiver which improvement of dynamic range. We also suggested method of minimum amplified input signal level used to minimize noise figure of low-noise amplifier for High dynamic range. The designed modules consist of active mixer with conversions gain and PL-DRO with high stability and quality factor. The designed modules performance is that has the characteristics of over 54dB conversion gain, 1.3dB noise figure.

In this paper, X-band satellite communication oscillator of double phase locked is implemented by constructing a couple of phased-locked loop, and then we have analyzed the phase noise of designed PLL-DRO. The designed phase-locked oscillator is consist of series feedback DRO, frequency divider, phase detector, loop filter and programmable PLL-IC. By dividing oscillation frequency of 12.6 GHz into two frequencies, it exhibits output power of 15.32 dBm at 6.3 GHz. Phase noises of implemented oscillator are -81 dBc/Hz@100Hz, -100.86 dBc/Hz@1 kHz, -111.12 dBc/Hz@10 kHz, -116 dBc/Hz@100 kHz and -140.49 dBc/Hz@1 MHz respectively. These indicate excellent stable operation of oscillator and very good phase noise characteristics.
