Hi all,
Have some confusions about how frequency multiplication influences the sideband level in synthesizer mentioned in the following book: [1] Stanley Goldman, Phase-Locked Loop Engineering Handbook for Integrated Circuits. 2007, pp. 131 The particular paragraph is in the attachment.
As stated, "frequency multiplying a 100-MHz signal, with 40-dBc side-bands at a 10-MHz offset from the carrier, by 10 produces a 1-GHz signal with 20-dB sidebands."
First of all, the author didn't mention how the multiplication is done. I also don't know how to do this in synthesizer. Please enlight.
Assume a 900MHz or 1100MHz sine signal is used to upconvert, I don't think this will be the case in synthesizer, the carrier frequency to 1GHz. It's true that the original sideband will also get upconverted, but why and how it grows from 40dBc to 20dBc?
Thanks.
