Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased, read, and refer to this book. It is good. But different from my other PLL books. On a higher more technical level than the other PLL books which I have reviewed. Reads more like a thesis than the other PLL books. I feel that it covers exactly what the title indicates, more wireless communication and space-based PLL coverage than the other books, except no 'implementations' except at conceptual mathematical level. Not a circuits book. No circuits to copy/use. Much more of a pure PLL communications theory book.

Phase-Locked Loops for Wireless Communications: Digitial,Analog and Optical Implementations, Second Edition presents acomplete tutorial of phase-locked loops from analog implementations todigital and optical designs. The text establishes a thoroughfoundation of continuous-time analysis techniques and maintains aconsistent notation as discrete-time and non-uniform sampling arepresented. New to this edition is a complete treatment of charge pumpsand the complementary sequential phase detector. Another importantchange is the increased use of MATLAB, implemented to providemore familiar graphics and reader-derived phase-locked loopsimulation. Frequency synthesizers and digital divideranalysis/techniques have been added to this second edition. Perhapsmost distinctive is the chapter on optical phase-locked loops thatbegins with sections discussing components such as lasers andphotodetectors and finishing with homodyne and heterodyne loops.Starting with a historical overview, presenting analog, digital, andoptical PLLs, discussing phase noise analysis, and includingcircuits/algorithms for data synchronization, this volume contains newtechniques being used in this field. Highlights of the SecondEdition:
Development of phase-locked loopsfrom analog to digital and optical, with consistent notationthroughout;
Expanded coverage of the loop filters used todesign second and third order PLLs;
Design examples ondelay-locked loops used to synchronize circuits on CPUs and ASICS;
New material on digital dividers that dominate a frequencysynthesizer's noise floor. Techniques to analytically estimate thephase noise of a divider;
Presentation of optical phase-lockedloops with primers on the optical components and fundamentals ofoptical mixing;
Section on automatic frequency control toprovide frequency-locking of the lasers instead of phase-locking;
Presentation of charge pumps, counters, and delay-lockedloops.
The Second Edition includes the essential topics needed bywireless, optics, and the traditional phase-locked loop specialists todesign circuits and software algorithms. All of the material has beenupdated throughout the book.
