Phase-Locked Loops

Discover the essential materials for phase-locked loop circuit design, from fundamentals to practical design aspects

A phase-locked loop (PLL) is a type of circuit with a range of important applications in telecommunications and computing. It generates an output signal with a controlled relationship to an input signal, such as an oscillator which matches the phases
of input and output signals. This is a critical function in coherent communication systems, with the result that the theory and design of these circuits are essential to electronic communications of all kinds.

Phase-Locked Loops: System Perspectives and Circuit Design Aspects provides a concise, accessible introduction to PLL design. It introduces readers to the role of PLLs in modern communication systems, the fundamental techniques of phase-lock circuitry, and the possible applications of PLLs in a wide variety of electronic communications contexts. The first book of its kind to incorporate modern
architectures and to balance theoretical fundamentals with detailed design insights, this promises to be a must-own text for students and industry professionals.

The book also features:

* Coverage of PLL basics with insightful analysis and examples tailored for circuit designers

* Applications of PLLs for both wireless and wireline systems

* Practical circuit design aspects for modern frequency generation, frequency modulation, and clock recovery systems

Phase-Locked Loops is essential for graduate students and advanced undergraduates in integrated circuit design, as well researchers and engineers in electrical and computing subjects.
