Description

Through the Artes-5.1 R&D project “HPLO” – High Purity LO Source with ESA, Kongsberg Norspace has demonstrated design solutions and building blocks that show exceptional performance. This will enable future payloads that will use higher order modulation schemes requiring more stringent phase noise requirements for both frequency conversion and low jitter sampling clocks in broadband data converters. In the program exceptional phase noise performance has been demonstrated. All elements have been carefully designed and optimized. All elements have been characterized and their contributions to the overall performance been investigated through simulations and practical trials in the lab. Finally a Elegant Breadboard of the VCO and the complete LO was developed and tested.
