Frequency Synthesis by Phase-Lock

By William F. Egan

Book Overview

An engineering-level introduction to the fundamentals of frequency synthesis, with emphasis on phase-lock circuits. Discussions of the basic frequency manipulations and a detailed description of the phase-lock principle provide the necessary background for the subsequent detailed treatment of frequency synthesizer circuit design. Topics include loop response, pull-in, false locks, acquisition aids, computer simulation (CAD), fractional-N and related techniques, frequency dividers, phase detectors (including sample-and-hold), effects of sampling on loop stability, effects of contaminating waveforms in system components, and spectral purity. Includes 40 examples, 70 end-of-chapter problems, and numerous references.

Good book

I have this book and i use it as guid in my thesis.Is good help for people who work with synthesisers in a real world.

Good source of info and practicality

This edition is much better then the first edition, Mr. Egan really did a good job. I think this book will become a standard book among engineers as Gardner did before. I'm an analist doing R & D in PLL's for carrier recovery and acquisition systems for IDR Satellite Modems and this book is really helping me on my task. Very good book!
