Linear 公司的LTC6946是集成了VCO的高性能低噪音5.7GHz 锁相环(PLL)，包括基准电源分压器，带锁相指示器的锁相频率检测器(PFD)，超低噪音电荷泵，整数反馈除法器，VCO输出驱动器。归一化带内本底相位噪音-226dBc/Hz，归一化带内1/f噪音为-274dBc/Hz,宽带输出相位噪音为-157dBc/Hz，主要用于无线基站(LTE, WiMAX, W-CDMA, PCS)，宽带无线接入，军用和安全无线电，测试测量。本文介绍了LTC6946主要特性，方框图，5.7GHz宽带接收器电路图和驱动调制器电路图。

　　The LTC?6946 is a high performance, low noise, 5.7GHz phase-locked loop (PLL) with a fully integrated VCO, including a reference divider, phase-frequency detector (PFD) with phase-lock indicator, ultralow noise charge pump, integer feedback divider, and VCO output divider. The charge pump contains selectable high and low voltage clamps useful for VCO monitoring.

　　The integrated low noise VCO uses no external components. It is internally calibrated to the correct output frequency with no external system support.

　　The part features a buffered, programmable VCO output divider with a range of 1 through 6, providing a wide frequency range.
