Phase-locked loops

by John L. Stensby

Phase-Locked Loops presents the latest information on the basic theory and applications to PLLs. Organized in a logical format, it first introduces the subject in a qualitative manner and discusses key applications. Next, it develops basic models for the components that make up a PLL, and these component models are used to develop a basic PLL model. The text then discusses both linear and nonlinear methods that are used to analyze the basic PLL model. This book includes broad coverage of the linear behavior of phase-locked loops. It describes important new results on nonlinear PLL dynamics, a field where exciting new research is being performed. Improvements brought about by the personal computer, especially in the use of numerical results, are integrated into the text.
