Abstract :
This paper describes an X-band frequency synthesizer that features low power consumption. To save power and reduce cost, new MMIC´s were developed and combined with commercially available components. With +10 dBm output, the power consumption is 270 mW, the lowest ever reported for X-band synthesizers.
