It all sounds possible to me. It is not very different from some of
the schemes we use commercially to generate internal frequencies (in spectral analysis equipment). Your idea of good filtering at 480MHz (and also, I hope, at 120MHz) is a good one, to keep out other combinations of multiplication. The one other thing I would be careful about is the phase noise of the oscillator. The AD9954 should be capable of very good phase noise performance, but you MUST feed it a clean reference to keep the output clean. I have recently tested some TCXOs which are very stable and accurate, but whose phase noise is not as good as I would really like. It is important to feed the oscillator from a very clean supply, but that alone is not a guarantee of good phase noise. See http://www.techlib.com/electronics/finesse.html for a nice idea to make a very clean supply for circuits that draw essentially constant current. Cheers, Tom |
