Microwave and Wireless Synthesizers: Theory and Design
Ulrich L. Rohde, Enrico Rubiola, Jerry C. WhitakerThe second edition includes extensively revised content throughout, including a modern approach to dealing with the noise and spurious response of loops and updated material on digital signal processing and architectures. Reflecting today's technology, new practical and validated examples cover a combination of analog and digital synthesizers and hybrid systems. Enhanced and expanded chapters discuss implementations of direct digital synthesis (DDS) architectures, the voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), crystal and other high-Q based oscillators, arbitrary waveform generation, vector signal generation, and other current tools and techniques. Now requiring no additional literature to be useful, this comprehensive, one-stop resource:
- Provides a fully reviewed, updated, and enhanced presentation of microwave and wireless synthesizers
- Presents a clear mathematical method for designing oscillators for best noise performance at both RF and microwave frequencies
- Contains new illustrations, figures, diagrams, and examples
- Includes extensive appendices to aid in calculating phase noise in free-running oscillators, designing VHF and UHF oscillators with CAD software, using state-of-the-art synthesizer chips, and generating millimeter wave frequencies using the delay line principle
