Phase-Locked Loop Circuit Design

This book introduces phase-locked loop applications and circuit design. Drawing theory and practice together, it emphasizes electronics design tools and circuits, using specific design examples, addresses the practical details that lead to a working design. Wolaver assumes no specilized knowledge in the area covered, reviewing basics as necessary; makes heavy use of figures to support the understanding of phase-locked loop theory and circuit operation; extensively discusses frequency acquisition means, an intensely nonlinear phenomenon; treats injection locking, a practical and often confounding problem; and takes a unique approach to characterizing the phase-locked loop parameters.
