To address the issue of suboptimal spectral purity in Direct Digital Frequency Synthesis (DDFS) within resource-constrained environments, this paper proposes an optimized DDFS technique based on cubic Hermite interpolation. Initially, a DDFS hardware architecture is implemented on a Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA); subsequently, essential interpolation parameters are extracted by combining the derivative relations of sine and cosine functions with a dual-port Read-Only Memory (ROM) structure using the cubic Hermite interpolation method to reconstruct high-fidelity target waveforms. This approach effectively mitigates spurious issues caused by amplitude quantization during the DDFS digitalization process while reducing data node storage units. Moreover, this paper introduces single-quadrant ROM compression technology to further diminish the required storage space. Experimental results indicate that, compared to traditional DDFS methods, the optimization scheme proposed in this work achieves a ROM resource compression ratio of 1792:1 and a 14-bit output Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) of -88.134 dBc, effectively enhancing amplitude quantization precision and significantly lowering spurious levels. This significantly improves amplitude quantization precision and reduces spurious levels. The proposed scheme demonstrates notable advantages in both spectral performance and resource utilization efficiency, making it highly suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems and high-performance applications such as radar and communication systems.
