Frequency Synthesizer :: NAU design project sponsored by Wulfsberg ElectronicsNorthern Arizona University

Project Outcome

Final Product

We are currently laying out the final PCB design prior to sending it off for fabrication. Further testing will be completed after the PCB is completed and delivered. The results of simulations give the following design characteristics:

  • Size: significantly smaller
  • Range: 313 – 490 MHz
  • Lock Time: 0.7ms
  • Estimated noise: -133 dBc/Hz

This means that, based on the simulation, we have met at least the following major requirements:

  • Size
  • Frequency
  • Lock Time

More information will be posted here as we assemble the system and perform further testing.
