The tuning input is typically connected to the output of
the PLL loop filter. The loop filter provides an appropri-
ately low-impedance source. Incorporate an extra RC
filter stage to reduce high-frequency noise and spuri-
ous signals. Any excess noise on the tuning input is
directly translated into FM noise, which can degrade
the phase-noise performance of the oscillator.
Therefore, it is important to minimize the noise intro-
duced on the tuning input. A simple RC filter with low
corner frequency is needed during testing to filter the
noise present on the voltage source driving the tuning
line.
The MAX2754 is designed for use in FSK applications
operating in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz ISM band. Specifically,
it is targeted for those systems which utilize a direct TX
modulation architecture in which the VCO is directly modu-
lated with the data signal during the transmit (TX) mode.
The VCO in these systems runs at half the RF output
frequency and is used in conjunction with a frequency
doubler to produce the final LO signal for both RX and
TX modes of operation.
