Problems solved by technology

[0004] In a radar system, phase noise will cause a decrease in the baseband signal-to-noise ratio, thereby affecting the radar's ability to distinguish targets
Prior art CN105656476A discloses a low-phase-noise radar frequency source generation circuit, which uses FPGA to control DDS. Although low-phase-noise frequency is realized, the output frequency of the integrated DDS chip is low, and DDS output harmonics and spurious suppression are poor , it is difficult to realize the output of higher frequency low phase noise signal; prior art CN112187259A discloses a kind of broadband agile frequency source, which adopts a ping-pong ring circuit structure, and the frequency output by multiple phase-locked loops is mixed with the local oscillator module, Although a broadband-agile frequency source is realized, the circuit structure is complex, debugging is difficult, the cost is high, and the frequency resolution is not high

Embodiment 1

[0038] Such as figure 2 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of a low phase noise frequency source circuit in Embodiment 1 of the present application.

[0039]The working principle is as follows: through the basic phase-locked loop circuit, it can be known that the input signal of the reference source module C1 is input to the reference input terminal of the phase detector module U1, and then the reference input terminal and the feedback input terminal of the phase detector module U1 pass through the internal phase detection. When the phase of the two input signals is not constant, the phase detector module U1 will generate a control voltage to the filter module L1, that is, the loop filter, and the loop filter will filter out the high-frequency signal in the control voltage, and then generate a control voltage The pure control voltage is given to the voltage-controlled oscillator module U2, and the control voltage is linearly related to the output frequency of the voltage-con...

[0050] Specifically, the DAC module U7 is connected to the control module U6 and the adder module U8, and the adder module U8 is connected between the filter module L1 and the voltage-controlled oscillator module U2.

[0051] Therefore, when the phase detector module U1 converts the frequency difference into a control voltage V1 through the internal charge pump, the control module U6 converts the corresponding data into a voltage V3 through the DAC module U6 through calculation, so that the DAC module through the adder module U8 The preset voltage V3 supplied by U7 to the oscillator module U2 is added to the control voltage V2 generated by the phase detector module U1 after pas...

[0056] Specifically, the switch module U9 is connected to the control module U6 and the mixer module U4, and the switch module U9 is simultaneously connected to the reference source module C2, the reference source module C3, the reference source module C4, and the reference source module C5.

[0057] It works as follows:

[0058] The input signal of the reference source module C1 is input to the reference input terminal of the phase detector module U1, and then the reference input terminal and the feedback input terminal of the phase detector module U1 pass internal phase detection. When the phases of the...
