Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to a broadband local oscillator circuit and a local oscillator signal generating method. Background Art
[0002] Frequency sources are widely used in many fields such as electronic countermeasures, radar, telemetry and remote control, and communications, and are known as the "heart" of many electronic systems. As an indispensable part of the up- and down-conversion links of the receiver, the performance of the local oscillator, such as output frequency range, phase noise, harmonic suppression, spurious suppression, frequency hopping time, and frequency stability, is crucial to the entire system.
[0003] At present, frequency synthesis technology can be divided into three types, including direct frequency synthesis technology (DS), phase-locked loop frequency synthesis technology (PLL), and direct digital frequency synthesis technology (DDS). Direct frequency synthesis technology can achieve low phase noise and fast frequency hopping, but its output frequency band is narrow, large in size and difficult to integrate. Phase-locked loop frequency synthesis technology can achieve low phase noise, but there is a problem of slow frequency conversion time. Direct digital frequency synthesis technology starts from the phase perspective, adopts Nyquist sampling theorem, and performs frequency synthesis through digital sampling and storage technology. It has short frequency conversion time, continuous phase, high frequency resolution, easy to realize complex signal modulation, easy to control, and high stability. However, there are also problems such as rich spurious components, limited maximum frequency of synthesized signals, and high power consumption.
[0004] The current development trend of frequency synthesizers is to combine technologies such as direct frequency synthesis technology (DS), phase-locked loop frequency synthesis technology (PLL), direct digital frequency synthesis technology (DDS), etc., and use their respective advantages to improve the technical indicators of frequency synthesizers such as phase noise, spurious indicators, frequency hopping time and output frequency range.
[0005] Reference 1, "Research and Implementation of High-Performance Frequency Source Based on DDS+PLL Technology" (Master's thesis of Wang Yi, National University of Defense Technology, November 2004), adopts a direct digital frequency synthesis (DDS)-driven phase-locked loop (PLL) implementation scheme to obtain a 600MHz sampling clock frequency source with high frequency stability, low phase noise, and low spurious.
[0006] Reference 2, "Research on 8-18 GHz Broadband Microwave Frequency Source Module" (Master's thesis of Li Zhanguo, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, March 2010), uses a DDS direct excitation PLL circuit structure for the L-band frequency source, controls the frequency hopping operation of the frequency source through FPGA, and uses YTO instead of VCO to achieve relatively good 8-18 GHz broadband frequency output comprehensive technical indicators.

The entire system uses a single-loop phase-locked control VCO to output an ultra-wideband frequency of 2-12GHz, realizing a small-volume, low-cost microwave frequency source.
[0008] Reference 4, "Research and Design of a Low Phase Noise Frequency Source" (Liu Yuankun's master's thesis at UESTC 2018.3), adopts a complex loop sampling phase-locked + DDS + frequency multiplication scheme for design and implementation, achieving a wide-band output of 5.4GHz-10.8GHz frequency signal, low phase noise, and low spurious agile frequency source.
[0009] Reference 5, "Design of Low Spurious Frequency Source Based on Fractional-Number Phase-Locked Loop" (Yan Chong, Wang Qiang, Li Xiaohui, Ma Donglei) uses fractional-number phase-locked loop technology and a phase-locked loop chip with an internal integrated voltage-controlled oscillator to design a frequency source with an output frequency of 1500~2500MHz, a frequency step of 250kHz, a phase noise of -90dBc / Hz@10kHz, a spurious suppression of less than -65dBc, and an output power of +5dBm.
[0010] Reference 6, "Research and Design of Ultra-Wideband Frequency Source Based on PLL" (Tang Hongyu, Master's Thesis of Hunan University, 2017.6), uses a single-loop phase-locked loop to achieve a frequency source output frequency range of 1.7GHz to 3.4GHz, a single-point frequency locking function, and a frequency sweep function within the entire output frequency range.
[0011] Reference 7, "Broadband Low Spurious Agile Frequency Source" (Master's thesis of Southeast University, Chen Fei, 2017.6), adopts a dual phase-locked loop structure to meet the low spurious requirements. The first-stage phase-locked loop is used as a variable reference for the second-stage phase-locked loop to suppress integer boundary spurs; to meet the low phase noise requirements, a low phase noise reference, a loop filter with appropriate bandwidth, optimized configuration parameters such as the charge pump current of the phase-locked loop system, and a separately designed power supply are adopted; to meet the agile requirements, ADC sampling calibration and DAC preset VCO tuning voltage are adopted; to meet the broadband requirements, a double-balanced mixer mixing method is adopted to expand the frequency band, and filter components are used to filter in frequency bands to ensure good harmonic suppression in a wide frequency band. Gain modules and digital step attenuators are used in combination in frequency bands to ensure high output power dynamic range in a wide frequency band; the output frequency range is 1M~6GHz.
[0012] Reference 8, "Research on Phase-locked Frequency Sources of C-band and X-band" (Zhang Xu, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, 2007.6), uses the frequency synthesis chip ADF41O6 plus different VCOs to realize two phase-locked frequency sources of 5.5 GHz and 8.76 GHz.
[0013] Reference 9, "Research on 60MHz~12GHz Broadband Frequency Source" (Wang Zheng, Master's thesis, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, March 2010) The frequency generation part uses a YTO fractional-N phase-locked loop to generate a baseband signal of 2GHz~6GHz, and then expands this basic signal to cover the entire frequency band by combining down-conversion, frequency division, and frequency multiplication technology. Some functions of the 60MHz~12GHz frequency source prototype are realized.
[0014] Document 10, invention patent CN103312322A discloses a local oscillator circuit and a local oscillator signal generation method, which realizes a second local oscillator circuit with low phase noise by using three-stage low phase noise frequency multiplication and two-stage microwave band extremely narrow-band high-Q surface acoustic wave resonators.
[0015] Document 11, invention patent CN1133340C discloses a radio frequency phase-locked local oscillator source, in which a reference signal source is connected to two different frequency synthesizers, and each channel is connected in series with a two-stage single-pole single-throw switch, and the control characteristics of the two switches are opposite, which can quickly switch the phase-locked local oscillator source with strong stability and low power consumption.

Reference 11 achieves channel isolation of two-way signals by adding two-stage single-pole single-throw switches in the two-way links. The above references mainly start from the circuit structure or channel link to improve the signal spectrum quality from one or more aspects, but there are still certain problems.
