Hybrid Synthesizer Based On Phase-Lock Loop (Pll) Driven Direct Digital Synthesizer (Dds)

Throughout the years, the development of a frequency synthesizer has evolved from large and heavy benchtop models to the compact size handheld synthesizer and now in modular form. Due to the fast-growing technology in wireless telecommunication industries and high expenditure or budget allocation to...
