Accurate Simulation of an X-band Frequency Synthesizer

This article describes the simulation and design of an X-band frequency synthesizer that can be applied to a micro-satellite transmitter system. The effects of the sideband’s spurious noise on the adjacent channels and the phase noise in each component...
Today’s transmitters for earth imaging micro-satellite systems demand higher communication quality and higher data rates to be capable of transmitting pictures or data with an appropriate quality, a higher frequency of operation and more channels per unit bandwidth. Low power consumption and small size are also required for this...
