GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This board is designed to allow the user to evaluate the
performance of the ADF4113 Frequency Synthesizer for
PLL's (Phase Locked Loops). The block diagram of the
board is shown below. It contains the ADF4113 synthesizer, a pc connector, SMA connector for the reference
input, power supplies and RF output. There is also a
loop filter (20kHz bandwidth) and a VCO on board. A
cable is included with the board to connect to a pc
printer port.
The package also contains windows software to allow
easy programming of the synthesizer.

All components necessary for LO generation are on-board.
The 13MHz TCXO from Vectron provides the necessary
Reference Input. The PLL is made up of the ADF4113,
passive loop filter (20kHz bandwidth) and the VCO 190-902
from Vari-L. The output is available at RFOUT through a
standard SMA connector. If the user wishes they may use
their own power supplies and reference input. In this case,
they need to insert SMA connectors to as shown on the
silkscreen and block diagram.
The AD7706 A/D converter is used to monitor the power
supply voltage and current consumption of the ADF4113.
This helps the user pick the optimum synthesizer settings for
power consumption and also provides an alert if the battery
voltage is too low to sustain the required 3V or 5V for the
board supply.
