Abstract:
A digitally compensated phase locked oscillator (DCPLO) is disclosed herein. The DCPLO comprises: a DCPLO input for receiving a reference signal at a known frequency; a DCPLO output for outputting a signal at a desired frequency; a phased locked loop (PLL), the phased locked loop comprising: a phase frequency detector, an oscillator, and a PLL output coupled to the output; a first direct digital synthesizer (DDS), the first DDS having an output coupled to the PLL to supply a DDS signal to the PLL for adjusting the frequency within the PLL so as to maintain phase lock over the operating temperature; a temperature sensor; and a processor coupled to the first DDS, the phase frequency detector, and the temperature sensor, the processor configured to set the frequency of the first DDS according to a temperature sensed by the temperature sensor.
