Detailed Description
Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
as shown in FIG. 1, an S-band low-phase-noise low-spurious fine stepping frequency source assembly comprises a constant-temperature crystal oscillator, a comb spectrum circuit, a first filter, a power divider, a mixer, a second filter, a frequency divider, a phase discriminator, a loop filter and a voltage-controlled oscillator, wherein the output end of the constant-temperature crystal oscillator is connected with the input end of the comb spectrum circuit, the output end of the comb spectrum circuit is connected with the input end of the first filter, the output end of the first filter is connected with the input end of the power divider, the power divider is divided into two paths of outputs, one output end of the power divider is connected with the local oscillation input end of the mixer, the other output end of the power divider is connected with the intermediate frequency input end of the mixer through the DDS circuit, the output end of the mixer is connected with the input end of the second filter, the output end of the second filter is connected with the input end of the frequency divider, the output end of the frequency discriminator is connected with the input end of the loop filter, the output end of the loop filter is connected with the input end of the voltage-controlled oscillator, and the output end of the other signal of the phase divider is connected with the output end of the S-band oscillator.
The application method of the band low-phase-noise low-stray fine stepping frequency source component comprises the following specific operation steps:
firstly, an external constant-temperature crystal oscillator oscillates to generate a reference signal of 100MHz, the reference signal is sent to a comb spectrum circuit, after the comb spectrum signal of 100MHz is generated, spurious emissions are filtered and expanded through a first filter, and a signal of 1200MHz with a high spurious suppression degree is generated; then, the 1200MHz signal is divided into two paths of output through the power divider, one path of the signal is provided for the DDS circuit to serve as a reference clock, and the other path of the signal is provided for the mixer to serve as a local oscillation signal; meanwhile, the DDS circuit generates a section of narrow-range fine stepping intermediate frequency signal, the frequency range of the intermediate frequency signal is 129-159MHz, the intermediate frequency signal is mixed with the local oscillator signal through a mixer, spurious emissions are filtered and enlarged through a second filter, and then an L-band reference signal of 1041-1071MHz with a very high spurious suppression degree is generated; then, the L-band reference signal is sent to a frequency divider for frequency division to generate a 260.25-267.75 MHz low-frequency signal which is used as a phase discrimination reference signal; and finally, feeding back the radio frequency signal of the voltage-controlled oscillator to the phase discriminator, comparing the radio frequency signal with the low frequency signal of the frequency divider, outputting a low frequency error signal, sending the low frequency error signal to the loop filter, filtering the low frequency error signal by the loop filter, and outputting a low frequency direct current signal to tune the voltage-controlled oscillator to form a loop, completing the phase locking function, and synthesizing the S-band frequency source of 1800-2400 MHz.
The L-band reference signal is generated by mixing a local oscillator signal and a DDS intermediate frequency signal, the local oscillator signal and the DDS clock are both from a comb spectrum circuit, the phase noise of the L-band reference signal is very low, and the phase noise of the L-band reference signal and the crystal oscillator signal meet the relation of 20 lgN; the L-band reference signal is divided and then a final S-band frequency source is generated through an indirect digital phase locking synthesis mode, the phase locking mode is an integer mode, the noise contribution of the phase discriminator is low, the noise contribution of the L-band reference signal is lower than that of the subsequent 8-phase discriminator, and therefore the phase noise of the finally output S-band frequency source directly depends on the noise bottom of the phase discriminator, and the low-noise phase discriminator is selected, so that the low-phase noise requirement of the S-band frequency source can be met.
The frequency hopping step of the intermediate frequency signal output by the DDS circuit meets the mu Hz level, and the near-end stray index is high; in summary, because the L-band reference signal is generated by mixing the local oscillation signal and the DDS intermediate frequency signal, the near-end spurious signal of the L-band reference signal mainly depends on the near-end spurious of the intermediate frequency signal output by the DDS circuit, which is better than 85dBc; and the frequency hopping step of the L-band reference signal also depends on the frequency hopping step of the intermediate frequency signal output by the DDS circuit, thereby meeting the mu Hz level. The L-band reference signal and the finally output S-band frequency source meet the relation of 20 lgN; therefore, the near-end spurious of the S-band frequency source depends only on the L-band reference signal, deteriorating by 6dB, 79dBc; and the frequency modulation step of the S-band frequency source also depends on the L-band reference signal, and meets the mu Hz level.
Finally, typical phase noise for S-band frequency sources: -115 dBc@10K-300 KHz; stray: -75dBc; frequency hopping step: the frequency source signal has low phase noise, low spurs and fine steps < 0.1 Hz.
