This research  describes the design & implementation of frequency synthesizer using single loop Phase lock loop with the following specifications: Frequency range (1.5 – 2.75) GHz,Step size (1 MHz), Switching time 36.4 µs, & phase noise @10 kHz = -92dBc & spurious -100 dBc

  The development in I.C. technology provide the simplicity in the design of frequency synthesizer because it implements the phase frequency detector(PFD) , prescalar &  reference divider in single chip. Therefore our system consists of  a single chip contains (low phase noise PFD, charge pump, prescalar  & reference divider), voltage controlled oscillator , loop filter & reference oscillator. The single chip is used to provide the following properties :

• Low power consumption.
• Small size, light weight.
• Flexibility in selecting crystal oscillator frequencies to fit into the system frequency planning.
• High reliability.

The application of this synthesizer  in frequency hopping systems, satellite communications & radar because it has high switching speed  ,low phase noise & low spurious level.
