I'm trying to design a vco with output freq. 350MHz-400MHz, what will be my first calculations?
thanks
 

1st determine the TCXO or OCXO
2nd make freq plan, define the phase detect freq(PDF)
3rd select freq synthesizer, such as ADF4113, ADF4153, interger or fractional
4th calculate PLL,check wether phase noise, power, spurs, harmonics, etc meet requirments or not
5th design schematic and PCB
 

thanks Tony for sharing
 

First of all define your specifications..Frequency,Phase Noise,Pulling, Pushing,Kvco,Current Consumption,VCO Topology,Harmonics' Levels,Vcc... etc..
