Integrated Circuit Design for High-Speed Frequency Synthesis

Get hands-on expertise in the design of frequency synthesizers in high-speed integrated circuits with this complete, one-stop resource packed with straight-from-the-lab techniques, procedures, and applications. It delivers a definitive introduction to system architecture and behavioral analysis. Moreover, you find detailed circuit implementation guidance for state-of-the-art synthesizer designs, emphasizing phase-locked loop-based analog synthesizers and direct digital synthesizers and their applications in CMOS and BiCMOS technologies. This peerless on-the-job reference brings a mountain of circuit and system level information together for the first time in a single volume. You get full details on transistor-level circuit design for each functional block, and tested solutions for problems raised by circuit level constraints and other issues associated with synthesizer implementations. The latest advances in phase noise reduction techniques, injection locking, and quadrature oscillators are explained, and details on new techniques like ultra-high speed direct digital synthesis take you to the cutting edge of next-generation wireless and radar applications. You also get an in-depth look at D modulators and a discussion on PLL and DDS hybrid frequency synthesis and direct modulations. This practical book includes numerous worked and simulated examples that provide field-tested analyses, design approaches, and problem-solving strategies. More than 235 illustrations offer further clarification and insight.
