Abstract

In this paper, a wideband DDS module covering the frequency range from 0.5 to 1.1 GHz was designed and fabricated. The clock frequency of the DDS was selected 2.4 GHz in order for 600 MHz output bandwidth. Multiple spurious cancelling signals having same amplitude and $180^{\circ}$ phase difference compared to the spurious were created at the additional path and added to the output signal within DDS for the spurious performance improvement. The fabricated DDS module showed better spurious performance than the commercial DDS one more than 10 dB and frequency tuning time was 340 ns below.

본 논문에서는 0.5~1.1 GHz 주파수 범위를 갖는 광대역 DDS(Direct Digital Synthesizer) 모듈의 설계 및 제작 결과에 대해 기술하고자 한다. 600 MHz 대역폭을 갖는 광대역 DDS 구현을 위해 DDS의 클럭을 2.4 GHz로 선정하였다. 광대역 DDS의 불요신호(spurious) 특성을 개선하기 위해 출력 불요신호 대비 크기가 같고, 역위상을 갖는 여러 개의 신호들을 동시에 발생시킨 후 DDS 내부에서 출력 신호와 합성하였다. 제작된 DDS 모듈의 불요신호는 상용 DDS 대비 10 dB 정도 개선되었고, DDS 모듈의 동조 속도는 340 ns 이하임을 확인하였다.
