46 4 MASTER OSCILLATOR<br />

The blockdiagram in figure 55 illustr<strong>at</strong>es <strong>the</strong> entire PLL to synchronize <strong>the</strong> reference frequency<br />

81.2499997 MHz and <strong>the</strong> 2.856001105 GHz oscill<strong>at</strong>or.<br />

Figure 55: LOLA PLL<br />

The oscill<strong>at</strong>or is gener<strong>at</strong>ed by mixing <strong>the</strong> second harmonic <strong>at</strong> 200 MHz <strong>of</strong> a high stable crystal<br />

oscill<strong>at</strong>or with a SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) oscill<strong>at</strong>or <strong>at</strong> 2488 MHz. The mixing product<br />

is filtered out with a bandpass filter and amplified in <strong>the</strong> end. The VCOs characteristics are<br />

sketched in figures 56, 57 and 58.<br />
