Thanks.
How should I think about the output of a DDS?
Lets assume I'm interested in the frequency domain where the "error" is
measured in phase noise. For a DDS, I think they are spurs.
Suppose I have a clock running at 101 MHz and I want 10 MHz. Is the output
10 MHz with some spurs, or 10.1 MHz with some spurs?
Are there rules of thumb for the size and location of the spurs? (given the
input freq and output freq)
