摘要
This paper presents a wide-band 28-34 GHz frequency synthesizer module developed to support THz spectrometer instruments for planetary exploration. The presented module features low power operation and a small form factor to be compatible with the demanding payload requirements of NASA planetary missions. The core of the module is a CMOS System-on-Chip (SoC) containing a sub-sampled phase-detector (SSPD) based phase lock-loop, power amplifier, power sensor and digital calibration. The demonstrated module draws a total of 81.2 mW of power from a USB connection and provides coverage from 28-34 GHz with output powers better than -4.0 dBm across the entire band. The offered mid-band phase noise is measured at -96.6 dBc/Hz evaluated at 1 MHz offset from the carrier.
