Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of frequency synthesis, and in particular to a low phase noise frequency synthesizer.
- FIG. 1 A block diagram of a frequency synthesizer using a phase-locked loop (PLL) is shown in Figure 1: including a phase detector (PD), a loop filter (LF), a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and a phase detector that references the input signal.
- the phase of (XTAL) is compared with the phase of the VCO signal, and the phase error of the two input signals is converted by the PD into an error voltage, which is filtered by the loop filter as a control voltage of the VCO, and the control voltage changes the output of the VCO.
- the output frequency of the VCO reaches the required frequency, and the output frequency is locked with the reference frequency.
- the output frequency is higher than the reference frequency, it is generally necessary to increase the frequency divider (N) in the feedback branch so that the two signals input to the PD are substantially equal in frequency.
- a reference divider (R) can be used for the reference signal to obtain a smaller phase-detection frequency.
- the carrier near-end phase noise of the output frequency is generally considered.
- the near-end phase noise formula of the whole system can be obtained as:
- PN total PN REF + PN 1Hz +10*log(fcomp)+20*log(N)
- PNref is the phase noise of the reference frequency
- PN1Hz is the equivalent noise floor of the phase detector.
- Fcomp is the phase discrimination frequency
- fcomp fout/N
- N is the feedback division ratio. Since the phase-locked loop is essentially equivalent to the frequency multiplier, the phase noise of the output frequency relative to the phase-detection frequency or the reference frequency is 20*log(N).
- the architecture changes, usually using the method of intra-band mixing, first mix the output frequency with a frequency f1, get a lower feedback frequency to phase with the reference frequency.

- phase noise improvement 10*log(N) is obtained.
- IMS International Microwave Symposium
- the correlation phase noise deterioration factor of 20*log(N) is not changed, and the phase noise of the output frequency is a coefficient of 20*log(N).
- Deterioration When the output frequency is high or N is large, the phase noise of the output frequency deteriorates more.
- Method 5 has great difficulty in implementing technology, especially when the frequency is high, and when the output frequency is not a point frequency but needs a certain bandwidth, it is very difficult to achieve, and the phase noise is improved by cancellation. It is also very limited.
- Method 6 based on the uncorrelated phase noise superposition theory is really able to greatly improve the output phase noise index. However, it uses a phase noise filter method to obtain uncorrelated multipath signals.
- phase noise filter itself has a certain bandwidth, it can only improve the phase noise of the far end (such as 1M), and the near phase noise is due to There is still correlation between the multiplexed signals, so the near-end phase noise cannot be improved.
- the filter is a fixed frequency device, the method can only be applied to the point frequency signal, and the frequency synthesizer signal requiring a frequency variation bandwidth for the output signal is also not applicable.
- the existing scheme has limited improvement in phase noise of the output signal of the frequency synthesizer, and the circuit structure is complicated.
- the present invention overcomes the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art and provides a low phase noise frequency synthesizer capable of effectively improving phase noise and having a simple circuit structure.
- a low phase noise frequency synthesizer comprising a reference crystal for generating a reference signal, the reference crystal connected to a power divider, the power divider being coupled to a signal input of at least one phase locked synthesis unit for reference

- the phase locked loop includes a phase detector, a loop filter, a voltage controlled oscillator, and a frequency divider that are sequentially connected.
- phase detector is a digital phase detector or an analog phase detector.
- first phase locked loop and the second phase locked loop are both narrow band phase locked loops.
- the narrowband phase-locked loop loop bandwidth is less than 10 Hz.
- the low phase noise frequency synthesizer of the present invention utilizes a non-correlated phase noise superposition principle, uses a narrow band phase lock technique to obtain multiple uncorrelated frequency signals, and combines these signals by frequency and structure by means of an in-loop mixing architecture. Get the desired output frequency. Due to the use of uncorrelated phase noise superposition, the deterioration of the output phase noise is degraded by a multiple of 10*log(N) with respect to the reference signal, instead of the 20*log(N) multiple of the prior art, which is relative to the existing The technology can obtain a phase noise improvement of 10*log(N), and obtain extremely low phase noise. At the same time, the circuit structure of the invention is simple and easy to implement.

- the phase loop is configured to phase lock the second signal; the third phase locked loop and the fourth phase locked loop mix and output the output signal.
- the phase locked loop includes a phase detector, a loop filter, a voltage controlled oscillator, and a frequency divider that are sequentially connected.
- the phase detector is a digital phase detector or an analog phase detector.
- the first phase locked loop and the second phase locked loop are both narrow band phase locked loops.
- the narrowband phase-locked loop has a bandwidth of less than 10 Hz.
- the invention utilizes the principle that the phase noise of the combination of multiple uncorrelated signals is linearly superimposed.
- narrow-band phase-locking to obtain multiple uncorrelated signals first, and combining these signals by intra-ring mixing, the phase noise improvement of 10*logN compared with conventional phase-locked technology can be obtained, where N is an uncorrelated frequency. Number of roads.

- the phase noise of the output frequencies f1 and f2 of the two loops is only relevant if the frequency deviates from the output frequency by 10 Hz and is related to the reference crystal X0.
- the phase noise of the output frequency f4 is equal to the sum of the N*f1 frequency phase noise and the N*f2 frequency phase noise. Since in the narrowband phase-locked loops PLL1 and PLL2, f1 and f2 have been deviated from the center frequency by 10 Hz. The phase noise is irrelevant. Therefore, according to the principle of linear superposition of uncorrelated signal noise, the phase noise outside the center frequency of 10 Hz at the output frequency f4 is:
