HMC439 use as frequency Comaprison

Category: Software
Product Number: hmc439

Hi, I want to use HMC439 and Loop Filter to compare two frequencies. I do not want to use VCO. 

The idea is to input two different frequencies to HMC439 then use a loop filter and read the output voltage of loop filter to draw the comparison between the input frequencies.

Can i do it using HMC439 because in doing so, i will not be using VCO and hence loop is not closed.

  • Dear Aandrews, AD8032 can measure the phase difference between +- 90degrees. How can i convert the my frequency difference into phase difference?

    Lets say my Reference is 100MHz and my input frequency is 130MHz. Difference is 30MHz so how many degrees will correspond to 30MHz difference?
