6. Операция
6.1 Программалык камсыздоону башкаруу
The ADF4351 module is typically controlled using dedicated software on a computer. The manufacturer provides an official software interface for configuration. This software allows for setting various parameters including frequency, output power, and modulation.
Figure 6.1: Analog Devices ADF435x Software interface for module control.
6.2 Frequency Generation
The module can generate frequencies from 35MHz to 4.4GHz. The output type varies with frequency:
- 2.2GHz - 4.4GHz: Fundamental (sine wave) output.
- 35MHz - 2.2GHz: Fundamental division (square wave) output.
The software allows for precise frequency setting, including point frequency, sweep, and frequency hopping. Stepping can be as fine as 1KHz, or 0.1KHz depending on the crystal frequency.
