Frequency sources have found widespread use in many areas such as electronic countermeasure, radar, telemetry, and telecommunications, and are referred to as the "heart" of many electronic systems. The local oscillator is an indispensable part in the up-conversion link and the down-conversion link of the receiver, and the performance of the local oscillator, such as output frequency range, phase noise, harmonic suppression, spurious suppression, frequency hopping time and frequency stability, is of great importance to the influence of the whole system.
Currently, frequency synthesis techniques can be classified into three types, including direct frequency synthesis (DS), Phase Locked Loop (PLL) and direct digital frequency synthesis (DDS). The direct frequency synthesis technology can realize low phase noise and fast frequency hopping, but the output frequency band range is narrow, the volume is large, and the integration is difficult. The phase-locked loop frequency synthesis technique can realize low phase noise, but has a problem of slow frequency conversion time. The direct digital frequency synthesis technology starts from a phase angle, adopts the Nyquist sampling theorem, carries out frequency synthesis through a digital sampling storage technology, has short frequency conversion time, continuous phase, high frequency resolution, easy control and high stability, is convenient for realizing signal modulation in a complex mode, and also has the problems of abundant stray components, limited highest frequency of a synthesized signal, large power consumption and the like.

The whole system adopts single-ring phase locking to control the VCO, outputs 2-12 GHz ultra-wideband frequency, and realizes a small-size and low-cost microwave frequency source.
In document 4, "research and design of a low-phase noise frequency source" (liuyuan kun electronic science master paper 2018.3), a scheme of complex loop sampling phase locking + DDS + frequency doubling is adopted to realize design and implementation, and a low-phase noise, low-spurious agility frequency source which outputs a 5.4GHz-10.8GHz frequency signal in a wide frequency band is realized.
