Abstract
We propose a local oscillator design that uses a digitally programmed frequency synthesizer instead of an analog VCO. The integral of the synthesizer input, the “digital phase,” is a convenient measure of integrated doppler. We examine the internal noise of such a receiver. At high carrier margin, the local oscillator phase noise equals that of the Block IV receiver, about 2 deg rms at S-band, whereas the digital phase noise is about 0.5 deg rms.
