Abstract
A radio frequency generating system comprises a synchronization board that receives an external clock signal from a clock source and generates multiple copies of the external clock signal. Each of a plurality of signal generation board receives a copy of the external clock signal from the synchronization board. Each signal generation board comprises a plurality of direct digital synthesizers that are synchronized using the external clock signal.
