I am designing a crystal controlled VFO to be used on my bench as test equipment. I repair 2-way radios in my business.
Does anyone know of an oscillator design with a really wide range. The range would hopefully be 20mhz to 500mhz, possibly wider.
Am I going to need several oscillators and mixers, or are there designs with very wide ranges?
Thanks for the link. The ADF4351 looks like quite a chip.
Also thanks for the quick reply.
Usually when I need accuracy, I tune sync to WWV. For this project, I planned to use a 10.240 crystal and maybe a thermal controlled enclosure.
