Diophantine Frequency Synthesizer with New Coincidence Mixer

Frequency synthesizers are an essential part of any modern transceiver system. They generate clock and oscillator signals needed for up and down conversion. Today’s communication standards demand both high frequency accuracy and fast frequency settling. The fine frequency resolution, low spurious signals, accuracy and stability are most important for these devices. In this paper, the new frequency synthesizer architecture based on direct synthesis and coincidence mixer is presented. The simulation results are also shown. Key-Words: Coincidence, diophantine, direct synthesis, frequency mixer, frequency spectrum, phase locked loop.
