This report outlines the development of a fast tuning frequency synthesizer, capable of producing output frequencies ranging from 3.4 GHz to 4.6 GHz with a step size of 50 MHz. Utilizing both direct and indirect synthesis methods, as well as phase-locked loops, the synthesizer aims to achieve an output power of 0 dBm with minimal spurious emissions. Key considerations include tuning times of less than 500 ns, and the integration of an external 100 MHz reference signal. Preliminary laboratory work has focused on ideal filter designs and addressing real-world component effects.
