Frequency synthesizers are used in everything from wireless and
wireline communications to waveform generation, but until now circuit
design expertise in this area has been scattered in numerous trade
publications and papers. This one-stop resource gives circuit designers
all the straight-from-the-lab techniques, procedures, and applications
they need for their work in the field. Following an introduction to
system architecture and behavioral analysis, the book provides an
extensive treatment of circuit implementation, emphasizing analog
synthesizers and direct digital synthesizers and their applications.
Worked and simulated examples throughout provide professionals with
field-tested analyses, design approaches, and problem-solving
strategies.
