Fast frequency hopping

Thread Summary

The user inquires about the ADRV9009's fast frequency hopping performance and ADC synchronization. The final answer confirms a hop time of 60-70 microseconds, with GPIO mode being faster than API mode. The ADC clock remains unchanged during frequency hopping, and the ADCs are always synchronized, even after hopping to a new frequency.

  1. When the ADRV9009 is configured with the fast frequency hopping across some of the settings of the 8 preset settings, how fast does it take to hop? After it hops to the set frequency, is there a settling time?
  2. When the ADRV9009 is configured with the fast frequency hopping across some of the settings of the 8 preset settings, and when it hops to a new frequency setting, is it possible for all the ADCs to be synchronized to the same start phase?

  • 1. ADRV9009 typical hope time is 70Usec. Please refer User guide for more details.

    2. ADRV9009 , you can hop for any number of frequencies ,There are no 8 preset settings as in AD9361 , 

    What do you mean by ADC synchronization, what is the application.. ?

    ADRV9009 supports RF phase synchronization as explained in user guide.

  • Hi, let me clarify my original question.

    Just to clarify, I am referring to the frequency hopping mode of the ADRV9009, which states that the predetermined LO frequency is pre-set by the user via the customization interface. What is the hop time to the next pre-determined frequency when triggered to hop? That is why there are pre-determined frequencies which you need to set first. Is the hop time the same for GPIO mode and API mode? Is one mode faster than other? See “next hop frequency" section.

    Question 2. When the ADRV9009 is configured in this “frequency hopping mode”, and when it hops to a new frequency, would the ADCs be synchronized in sampling? i.e. sample the signal at the same time. That’s what I meant by “synchronized to the same start phase”.

    Or is it that the ADCs are always synchronized? Even when ADRV9009 (RF PLL) quick hops to a new frequency when in “frequency hopping mode”, the ADCs remained tightly synchronized in sampling?

    Thanks for your clarifications and help.
