Design and Fabrication of Clock Recovery Module for Gap Filter of Satellite DMB

The clock recovery module of gap filler for satellite DMB is proposed. Proposed module sustains the output frequency of 10 MHz whether the received signal from the satellite is unstable or cut off within 0.5 sec. The advantages of this module is without frequency tuning at regular interval and low material cost. This module is fabricated by using CPLD as clock recovery IC and new type of loop filter for satisfying the fast lock time and long hold over time simultaneously. The measured performance of the fabricated module has a holdover time of 11 sec at frequency stability less than 0.01 ppm, and phase noise of -113 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz offset.
