rf synthesizer
RF Synthesizer
This is a 2.3 to 2.6 GHz PLL frequency synthesizer using LMX2353 PLL. Input frequency reference is 50 MHz (xtal osc.). controlled with pic16f628 microcontroller. VCO is Maxim MAX2750. Output is split with microstrip Wilkinson power divider into minicircuits ERA-33 amplifier with an output of +13 dBm. Easily drives a mixer for further frequency conversion as a L.O. signal source.
