Abstract

The PLDRO(Phase-Locked Dielectric Resonator Oscillator) with low phase noise is designed for X-band. The phase of VCDRO(Voltage Controlled Dielectric Resonator Oscillator) is locked to that of a high stable reference oscillator by using a SPD(Sampling Phase Detector) to improve phase noise performance in the loop bandwidth. And, the VCDRO is implemented using a high impedance inverter coupled with dielectric resonator to improve the phase noise performance out of the loop bandwidth. This PLDRO exhibits the harmonic rejection characteristics of 51.67㏈c and requires below 1.95W. The phase noise characteristics are performed as -107.17㏈c/Hz at 10KHz offset frequency and -113.0㏈c/Hz at 100KHz offset frequency, respectively, at ambient. And the output power of 13.0㏈m${\pm}$0.33㏈ is measured over the temperature range of $-20 ∼ +70^{\circ}C$ .

본 논문에서는 X-band용 저위상잡음을 갖는 위상고정 유전체 공진 발진기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 위상고정 유전체 공진 발진기의 루프대역 내의 위상잡음을 개선하기 위해서 샘플링위상비교기(Sampling Phase Detector)를 사용하여 전압제어 유전체 공진 발진기를 고안정의 기준주파수에 위상 고정시켰으며 루프대역 밖의 위상잡음을 개선하기 위해서 고임피던스 변환기를 이용한 낮은 위상잡음의 전압제어 발진기를 설계하였다. 제작된 위상고정 유전체 공진 발진기는 51.67㏈c의 고조파 억압특성을 가지고 있으며 공급전력은 1.95W 이하를 필요로 한다. 위상잡음은 상온에서 -107.17㏈c/Hz $\circleda$10KHz와 -113.0㏈c/Hz $\circleda$100KHz의 우수한 특성을 나타내었으며 출력전력은 $-20 ∼ +70^{\circ}C$의 온도 범위에서 13.0㏈m${\pm}$0.33㏈의 안정된 특성을 나타내었다.
