Phaselock Techniques |
The author, Floyd M. Gardner an influential expert in the area of PLLs, has presented a good reference book that encompasses all the theoretical and mathematical concepts for the phase locked loop (PLL) design. The collection of topics in this book provides an excellent source of information to researchers and engineers for understanding and application of phaselock techniques. It includes details on applications of PLLs like – oscillator stabilizers, phase locked modulators, and demodulators, treatment of synthesizers, transponders receivers and data synchronizers. In-depth analysis of both analog and digital PLL designs is also provided.
All aspects of understanding the basics of phase noise is also covered. Topics in this area include basics of phase noise and its sources, phase noise characteristics, effect of circuits (like mixers,multipliers) on phase noise and effect of closed loop system design on phase noise etc..,
The newest edition has up-to-date topics, all based on research papers and hence is a great source of information for newbies and experts in the PLL design field.
On the downside, though the book has covered all the topics with great mathematical detail, some readers may find it too technical.
Nevertheless, if you are looking for a golden reference on PLL design, this book is a great grab↗.
