Abstract
Particular problems can occur for frequency synthesizers under vibration and temperature. These effects will be outlined for providing margin to prevent failures. Phase noise, noise figure, and spectrum analysis tools are applied with vibration tables and thermal chambers. Particular focus is given to frequency synthesizers whose oscillators are most susceptible to environmental effects.
