Abstract:

In today's widely used direct digital frequency synthesis technology, there is a slight difference between the actual output frequency and the frequency to be generated due to the rounding of the frequency control word. In this paper, the phase accumulation process in the direct digital frequency synthesizer is controlled to basically realize a direct digital frequency synthesis technique without the mantissa frequency. The design and control process is optimized by the phase difference variation characteristics between the actual output frequency and the theoretical frequency. Experimental results show that the technical scheme can effectively reduce the influence of the mantissa frequency in the direct digital frequency synthesis technology by nearly ten thousand times, and the control process has a little effect on the phase noise, frequency stability, and other indicators of the output signal.

Key words: direct digital frequency synthesis, frequency accuracy, frequency synthesizers, fractional frequency control word
