A DIGITALLY CONTROLLED SATELLITE FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER

Abstract

This report considers two well-known methods of frequency synthesis, the VCO approach and the modular or iterative mix-filter-divide approach from the point of view of use in the Lincoln Experimental Satellite (LES) series. System parameters are chosen and a specific implementation is described.
