I just finished building a frequency synthesizer with the MAX038 waveform generator from MAXIM, you can download the datasheet here: MAX038 High-Frequency Waveform Generator. My circuit is a copy of the  high frequency waveform generator in the datasheet, with a 16F877 PIC controlling the device.

elow you can see some pictures of my design (click on the picture to enlarge it):

Updated! Here is the very requested schematic, finally :-)  
The main PCB, with MAX038 high frequency waveform generator, power supply and 16F877 PIC controlling the frequency synthesizer. I have detected a small error in the PCB, pin 11 and 12 on the MAX038 IC has to be connected to ground.
Updated! to the newest firmware.
