Abstract
A frequency synthesizer or signal source is expected to provide a pure spectral signal. There should be no unwanted amplitude or frequency/phase modulation in the output spectrum. As we will discuss shortly, undesired phase modulation on the local oscillator in communications receivers, can reduce the channel selectivity and degrade the bit error rate of the receiver. It can also degrade the performance of coherent radars [14].
