Subject: DE70321 VCO and Sensitivity Enhancement

This document contains details of how the performance of designs based on the DE70321 AIS Demonstration Kit may be enhanced for certain applications.
For full class B compliance, the receivers’ local oscillators are controlled using an LMX2332 dual PLL IC. In particular, the 1st LOs require excellent phase noise performance in order to meet the demanding adjacent channel rejection standard.

Whilst the existing design achieves this at the AIS operating frequencies, improvements can be made to the VCO circuits to give better ACR performance (typically 72-76dB rejection) across the entire marine band.
