Abstract

See full text

ADDS driven DDS Synthesizer (DDS.sup.2 Synthesizer) is disclosed, wherein the first DDS--a Reference DDS--generates a high resolution tunable output signal, which is in turn expanded and/or upconverted to the frequency bandwidth and range required by the clock of the second DDS--a DDS Divider. The DDS Divider acts as a programmable 'sinewave divider' of its tunable input clock by division ratios 'n' limited to the set of small integer numbers 3; 4; 5; 6 . . . , chosen to eliminate phase truncation spurs and limit quantization spurs to harmonics of the fundamental output and thus to provide a high spectral purity, high resolution, fast switching DDS based synthesizer.
