Download or read book Frequency Synthesizer Design Handbook written by James A. Crawford and published by Artech House Microwave Library. This book was released on 1994 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
