Frequency Multiplier - Theory and Prototyping Example

Ғылым және технология

Frequency multiplication is a very important topic.
Today electronics almost aways has high speed signal domains like data buses, PLLs and clock recovery.
In this video, Gregory explain one way for frequency multiplication. Using engineered non-linearity and band-pass filtering, harmonics of a input signal can be used as higher frequency copys of the signal, preserving the input phase.

    Such a great video! At first I didn't understand how this was possible, but once you said filter out the higher harmonics a light just clicked. So obvious in hindsight. Such a beautiful combination of theory and practice!

    Very important point you should have mentioned is that when an oscillator is a square wave, the frequency response is infinite multiple frequencies of 16MHZ. At first I was wondering why there was no non linear device such as a diode or transistor. Then I realized, after remembering DSP while back, I remembered about square wave has infinite sine waves.

    Hello, great video, in PLL multiplier aplication are the frequencys Fin and Fout syncronized? For example, if 1.024Mhz was multiplied by 375 and then divided by 6 then the output frequency will be 64 Mhz, are the 64MHZ and 1.024MHZ signals syncronized? I mean, the Fin and Fout are going high and low syncronized (at the same time)?

    Hello! If the multiplying factor is an integer, every N edge will be exactly in sync. If you are using a fractional ratio, the edges will be synced in a statistical way.

    Let's say you have a frequency divider between the VCO and phase comparator. The loop will lock the VCO at twice de frequency, so the two phase comparator inputs become matched.

    Because the output is taken from the amplifier. The crystal filters the signal and on its output you will have a sine wave.

  • @aduedc
    @aduedc Жыл бұрын

    Very good clip, thanks. But looking at the output, I do not believe your phase noise to be -105dB. The output signal does not look like clean sine wave, so your phase noise can not be that good. Probably, you made a mistake in measurement somewhere. Maybe, other people can tell us why your phase noise measurement was wrong. Maybe , you sent the output into another filter that clean the output.

If you can generate this good multiple frequency, then we can always double the frequency and divide it by two to generate 90 Deg. phase difference signal for IQ applications.

    Frequency multiplication degrades de phase noise by 20 log (N) , you may estimate the reference phase noise

    Although you did frequency multiplication x3 but truly you did not... The important thing is you input pure sine wave frequency within a bandwidth and has it multiplied x3 and again same sine wave at the output , this is called multiplication but the technical problem is you can do this by even numbers not by odd numbers !!....

    Easy enough to double a frequency. Just use a full-wave rectifier followed by a bandpass filter.
