LMX2820: VCO calibration after Frequency change

Part Number: LMX2820

Hey there,

I have the followed questions:

If I like to "sweep" the output frequency from lets say 5.65GHz to 6.35Ghz. This works within the same VCO Core. The sweep can have several stepsizes like 1Hz, 10Hz what ever just adjustable.

Do I have to re-calibrate the VCO every time when changing the frequency within the same corerange?

Or do I only have to re-calibrate when switching VCO-Core?

Even with Insta Calibration this will take around 5us concerning data sheet. What does the output look like then.

Kind Regards

Cornelius
