Frequency Synthesizer Design Handbook (Artech House Microwave Library (Hardcover))

the First Book To Cover Digital Sampling Effects In Modern Phase-locked Frequency Synthesizers From A Systems Perspective, This Practical Design Guide Helps You Develop A Thorough Understanding Of Sampling Effects In Modern Phase-locked Loop Design. booknews an Text That Addresses The Subject Of Frequency Synthesis From A Systems Rather Than A Circuit Perspective. Special Attention Is Also Given To The Area Of Sampled-data Control Systems As They Apply To Modern Phase-locked Loop Design As Well As Other Areas Where Clear Design Material Was Felt To Be Unavailable. The Text Was Motivated By The Author's Work At Hughes Aircraft Company, Ground Systems Group, Beginning In The Late 1970s And Is Written With A Bent Toward Sound Engineering Design Practice Rather Than Ad Hoc Methods. Annotation C. Book News, Inc., Portland, Or (booknews.com) This work is aimed at practitioners wishing to gain a broader systems-based perspective of phase-locked loops; and is also suitable as a graduate text for engineering students. It provides detailed coverage of digital sampling effects in modern phase-locked frequency synthesizers from a systems perspective, and discusses all aspects of phase noise, its mathematical modelling and its impact upon different digital communication systems. Sections on building blocks for frequency synthesis using phase-locked loops, frequency synthesis using sampled-data control systems, and MASCET, are included.
