  • Frequency reference signal generating system and method for frequency synthesizers
    Patent number: 8686800
    Abstract: A system for generating a frequency reference signal comprising an oscillator, a direct digital synthesizer coupled to the oscillator and configured to receive a signal output from the oscillator, a digital to analog converter coupled to the direct digital synthesizer and configured to receive a sampled signal from the direct digital synthesizer and to convert the sampled signal to an analog waveform, and a bandpass filter coupled to the digital to analog converter and configured to select an aliased output signal from the digital to analog converter at a Nyquist zone other than a first Nyquist zone and to output the frequency reference signal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 13, 2012
    Date of Patent: April 1, 2014
    Assignee: Comtech EF Data Corp.
    Inventors: Cris Mamaril, Tiberiu Artzi, Terry Richmond
