Abstract:A C-band frequency synthesizer scheme for fullcoherent radar combining direct digital synthesis (DDS) and phaselocked loop (PLL) is proposed in this paper. In order to improve the phase noise and spurious of output signal and reduces the system complexity, the highperformance local oscillator is designed by using HMC704 to control VCO, and the baseband LFM signals produced by AD9910 are further upconverted into Cband by two times to meet the required frequency. The synthesizer has implemented with good performance of both low phase noise, high resolution and small step. Experimental results show that the output amplitude of the proposed Cband synthesizer is greater than 10 dBm, frequency step is 1 kHz, the phase noise level is better than -103 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz,the indicators meet the practical engineering requirements.
