GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADF4002-EP frequency synthesizer is used to implement
local oscillators in the upconversion and downconversion sections
of wireless receivers and transmitters. It consists of a low noise
digital phase frequency detector (PFD), a precision charge pump,
a programmable reference divider, and a programmable N divider.
The 14-bit reference counter (R counter) allows selectable REF
frequencies at the PFD input. A complete phase-locked loop (PLL)
can be implemented if the synthesizer is used with an external
loop filter and voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). In addition,
by programming R and N to 1, the part can be used as a standalone PFD and charge pump.
Additional application and technical information can be found
in the ADF4002 data sheet.

All phase noise measurements were performed with a Rohde & Schwarz FSUP26 phase noise test system using the EVAL-ADF4002EBZ1 evaluation board and the
ultralow noise, 100 MHz OCXO from Wenzel (Part No. 501-16843) as the PLL reference.

The synthesizer phase noise floor is estimated by measuring the in-band phase noise at the output of the VCO and subtracting 20logN (where N is the N divider value)
and 10logf

The PLL phase noise is composed of 1/f (flicker) noise plus the normalized PLL noise floor. The formula for calculating the 1/f noise contribution at an RF frequency (fRF) and at a
