A PLDRO (Phase Locked Dielectric Resonator Oscillator) with the output frequency of a fractional multiple of reference is proposed and implemented. The key element in the proposed PLDRO is an image rejection mixer placed between a VCDRO (Voltage Controlled Dielectric Resonator Oscillator) and SPD (Sampling Phase Detector). The image rejection mixer shifts the coupled signal from the VCDRO before the signal feeds the SPD. Therefore, the output frequency of the PLDRO can be realized such that it is not harmonically related with its reference frequency. The frequency divider and multiplier generate the IF frequency for the mixer from the reference frequency. The general PLL (Phase Locked Loop) design parameters such as the damping coe-cient and the natural frequency are derived for the proposed topology of the PLDRO. A 7.25GHz PLDRO with a 100MHz reference, intended for use as a local oscillator for a ka band Block-up Converter (BUC), is designed and measured. A BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor) is used as an active component of the VCDRO and a modifled two micro-strip line coupled DR model is presented and used for frequency tuning range estimation. The measured phase noise at 10kHz/100kHz ofiset is 101dBc/Hz and 115dBc/Hz, respectively. The fabricated PLDRO size is 100mm by 105mm by 23mm including a 100MHz reference crystal oscillator. |
