Abstract
This report presents the results of the design and fabrication of
a Multiple-Loop Frequency Synthesizer. The design utilizes frequency
control loops to extend the capture range of a phase-locked loop used
to provide frequency stability. No harmonic generators, mixers or
filters are used, in the usual sense; a single crystal oscillator is
required. The synthesizer is small, light weight, accurate to within
± 0.0025% of the programmed frequency, covers the AM broadcast band
(500 kHz to 1600 kHz), and is electronically tunable in 10 kHz steps.
Unwanted sidebands 5 kHz and 10 kHz away from the programmed frequency
have relative magnitudes of -28 db and -40 db, respectively.
