[0206] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the signal generated by the 100M-O1 signal after the frequency multiplier is used as the reference signal of the comb spectrum generator A1 (a 2G comb spectrum generator is selected in this embodiment). The 2G comb spectrum generator generates a series of frequency spectra, which are divided into two paths after two power splitters (power splitter I1). One path passes through the filter B1 to select the 26G signal, which is then filtered out by the filter B1 to remove clutter and then split into two LO1 signals for use by the frequency conversion module.
[0207] The other path passes through the amplifier and then switches filter A1 to select the 14G / 16G / 18G / 20G signals. These signals are amplified by amplifier F1 and then doubled by filter B1. Filter D1 then selects the 28-40G signals. The amplified 28-40G signals serve as the LO signals for mixer A1.
[0208] After being divided by the frequency divider, the 100M-4 provides a reference signal for the frequency source (a 3.5GHz point frequency source is selected in this embodiment), generating a 3.5GHz signal. The 3.5GHz signal enters the DDS and provides a clock signal for the DDS. Under the control of the FPGA, the DDS generates a 250-750MHz baseband signal, which is mixed with the 4.25-7.75GHz LO signal to generate a 3.5-7.5GHz intermediate frequency signal, which is then selected by the switch filter and enters the next mixing.
[0209] The 4.25-7.75 GHz LO signal is generated by multiplying the 100M-O3 reference signal by five times to generate a 500 MHz signal, which is then divided by two by the frequency divider B1 to generate a 250 MHz signal, thereby driving the comb spectrum generator A2 to generate high-order harmonics of 4.25-7.75 GHz. These point-frequency local oscillator signals are then extracted through the switching filter B2 and provided to the baseband mixer for local oscillator drive.
[0210] After the next mixing cycle, mixer A1 generates an RF signal. Different filters in switch filter B1 are used to select 24.2-26.5 GHz, 26.5-30.5 GHz, 30.5-34.5 GHz, 34.5-38.5 GHz, and 38.5-40.4 GHz signals. After amplification, filtering, and power division, two LO2 signals are output for use by the frequency conversion module.
[0211] Furthermore, the FPGA is connected to the detector A to receive the data collected by the ADC chip, thereby realizing the specific method of automatic gain control of the reference signal: the REF signal outside the frequency synthesis module enters the power divider A, the power divider A outputs 2 signals, one of which is detected by the detector A, and then the detected analog voltage is sampled by the ADC chip, and the sampled data is transmitted to the FPGA for data collection, thereby realizing automatic gain control of the reference signal. At the same time, the presence or absence of an external reference signal can be determined based on the data collected by the FPGA, and the automatic switching of the internal and external references can be realized based on the result of the determination of the presence or absence of the external reference signal. The FPGA can also transmit the current internal and external reference status back to the host computer in real time for reporting. The other signal path output by the power divider A enters the clock distribution module after amplification, attenuation, and amplification processing.
[0212] Furthermore, when the universal local oscillator module is used as a universal fast frequency integrated local oscillator module, the frequency source A1 is a 3.5 GHz point frequency source. Figure 3 As shown, including:
[0213] A point frequency source phase detector, wherein the input end of the point frequency source phase detector is connected to the output end of the power divider G. The input end of the point frequency source phase detector is the input end of the frequency source A1.
[0214] A point frequency source VCO, wherein an input end of the point frequency source VCO is connected to an output end of the point frequency source phase detector.
[0215] A point frequency source power divider, wherein the input end of the point frequency source power divider is connected to the output end of the point frequency source VCO.
[0216] A point frequency source amplifier A, wherein the input end of the point frequency source amplifier A is connected to an output end of the point frequency source power splitter, and the output end of the point frequency source amplifier A is connected to the input end of the DDS.
[0217] A point frequency source amplifier B, wherein the input end of the point frequency source amplifier B is connected to the other output end of the point frequency source power divider. The output end of the point frequency source amplifier B is connected to the input end of the point frequency source phase detector.
[0218] Furthermore, when the universal local oscillator module is used as a universal fast frequency integrated local oscillator module, the DDS is connected to the FPGA, the 3.5 GHz point frequency source provides a 3.5 GHz reference signal to the DDS, and the FPGA controls the DDS to cause the DDS to generate frequency hopping.
