Abstract

This article is dedicated to the research on a Ka‐band frequency synthesizer based on low‐temperature cofired ceramics (LTCC) technology. This module is composed of an X‐band phase locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer and a millimeter‐wave quadrupler. In this design, all devices and filters which buried in the substrate are in the same Ferro‐A6M LTCC board. Measurements show that the Ka‐band LTCC frequency synthesizer covers 34.8–35.2 GHz with a minimal step of 40 MHz, low‐phase noise (<−83 dBc/Hz @1 kHz), low‐spurious level (−62 dBc), fast‐hopping time (<15us). The board size is 33 cm^2^. So far as we know, this is the first time to realize a LTCC frequency synthesizer module on a single LTCC board in millimeter wave band. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
