ABSTRACT:
An improved frequency synthesizer 100 capable of producing true DC frequency modulation without the need to DC frequency modulate the reference oscillator. The synthesizer 100 includes a phase comparator 104 compares the reference signal 102 and the feedback signal 112. The output of said phase comparator 104 filtered and coupled to the main VCO 108. A balanced image mixer 200 mixes the two signals from the main VCO 108 and an offset VCO 300. The offset VCO 300 is a low frequency (e.g. 100 to 300 KHz) integrated offset VCO 308 whose center frequency is controlled accurately, by means of matching to a VCO 306 which is controlled by a feedback loop, and by using an image balanced mixer 200 to reduce the image response to substantially reduce or eliminate the filtering required at the mixer output. The configuration of the offset mixer within the synthesizer loop, any residual spurious content due to imperfect image balance or carrier feedthrough of the mixer is attenuated by the loop response. The output signal of the mixer 200 is looped back to the phase comparator 104 after being divided by N through a divider 114.
