Phase-locked loops for wireless communications Digital, Analog and Optical Implementations

This book is intended for the graduate or advanced undergraduate engineer. The primary motivation for developing the text was to present a complete tutorial of phase-locked loops with a consistent notation. I believe this is critical for the practicing engineer who uses the text as a self-study guide. Three years after the first printing, I discovered there was a need for a second edition. I had taught several short courses from the text, and discovered that today’s engineers needed less time devoted to discrete-time theory, but wanted more practical information on implementing phase-locked loops. As a result, I have deleted discussions on topics such as multi-rate sampling and the Jury test, and replaced them with new content. Included in the new material are additional loop filters and reduction of reference feedthrough in frequency synthesizers. Indeed, frequency synthesis is itself a new topic in the text.
