We recommend to use RF Amplifier and Low Pass Filter with our DDS Shield Boards:
RF Amplifier LNA 8-2000 MHz, GAIN = 20 dB, P = +20 dBm + LDO MMIC MRFA89 SOT-89

(Low-Pass Filter LPF 7th Order Elliptical 1-1000Mhz 3.5 7 14 28 144 433MHz etc.)
https://www.ebay.com/itm/164902154239
Key Benefits:
Low harmonics no more than -60dBc. An output RF transformer is used for the correct operation of the current mirror.
Small spurs.
4 layer board. Signal lines TOP and Bottom, inner layers Ground and Power.
Low Noise LDO Stabilizers.
Separate power supply for all analog and digital lines (1.8V and 3.3V), 5 pcs IC voltage stabilizers are used. Additionally, there is an RF Ferrite bead interchange.
High-speed decoupling Level converter and TTL 5V matching.
Types of possible reference oscillators (choose one of them in the selector):
XO – Crystal 25 MHz 20 ppm internal oscillator with PLL at 1 GHz.
TCXO – 10 MHz 1 ppm external oscillator PLL at 1 GHz.
EGEN – external generator up to 1.5 GHz. (To connect an external clock source of up to 1.5 GHz, this source is NOT INCLUDED).
OCXO – Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillators deliver the ultimate piezo electric performance with stabilities down to less than ±1 ppm.
Additionally balancing transformer is used for TCXO, EGEN and OCXO options:
Easy to connect OLED display.
Control buttons for control via the program menu.
The synthesizer is capable to generate sine wave, AM or FM modulated signal.
The software allows you to select and configure the frequency of the clock generator through the user menu (without the need to recompile the program).
Any settings can be stored in non-volatile EEPROM memory (located at Arduino Mega).
Basic settings are applied and saved automatically.
This shield support overclocking the AD9910 core to 1.5 GHz (
heatsink is recommended
).
DDS AD9910 Shield has ability to generate a signal up to 600 MHz with a core overclocking up to 1.5 GHz,
(to suppress harmonics, it is recommended to overclock the AD9910 for frequencies above 400 MHz).
Has ability to increase output power by +4 dBm when “DAC Current HI” is activated.
Phase Noise
This parameter is very important and interesting for those who buy DDS.
Since the intrinsic phase noise of DDS is obviously less than that of PLL generators, the final value is highly dependent on the clock source.
In order to achieve the values stated in the datasheet for AD9910, we strictly adhered to all recommendations from Analog Devices.
When designing our DDS AD9910 Arduino Shield we have followed these requirements:
PCB layout in 4 layers, separate power supply of all 4 power lines (3.3 V digital, 3.3 V analog, 1.8 V digital, and 1.8 V analog).
Therefore, when buying our DDS AD9910 Arduino Shield, you can focus on the data from the datasheet on the AD9910.
Figure 16 shows the noise level when using the built-in PLL in DDS. The PLL multiplies the frequency of a 50 MHz generator by 20 times.
We use a similar frequency – 40 MHz (x25 Multiplier) or 50 MHz (x20 Multiplier) from TCXO which gives even more stability.
Figure 15 shows the noise level when using an external reference clock 1 GHz, with the PLL off.

DDS AD9910 Arduino Shield Phase Noise
Comparing these two plots, for example, for Fout = 201.1 MHz and the internal PLL turned on at 10 kHz carrier offset, the phase noise level is -130 dBc @ 10 kHz.
And with the PLL off and using external clocking, the phase noise is 145 dBc @ 10kHz.
That is, when using an external clock phase noise by 15 dBc better (lower).
For the same frequency Fout = 201.1 MHz, and the internal PLL turned on at 1 MHz carrier offset, the phase noise level is -124 dBc @ 1 MHz.
And with the PLL off and using external clocking, the phase noise is 158 dBc @ 1 MHz.
That is, when using an external clock phase noise by 34 dBc better (lower).
Conclusion: when using external clocking, you can get much lower phase noise than using the built-in PLL.
But do not forget that in order to achieve such results, increased requirements are put forward to the external generator.
