Abstract :
This book provides a tour of modern phase-locked loop (PLL) design from abstract control theory to the details of transistor circuit realization. Chapters 1, 2, 4, and 5 cover fundamentals, while Chapters 3 and 6 through 9 are concerned with more advanced topics such as fractional-N synthesizers, reactive component modeling, noise upconversion, and circuit implementation in CMOS. Running just under 250 pages, the book serves as a nice reference or introduction for professionals or students, but lacks exercises that would make it more useful as a teaching tool. The book is practical and provides a good theoretical foundation.
