Publisher: Wiley-Interscience, 1979

This second edition of Phaselock Techniques is -- as was the first -- the standard reference on the subject. Greatly expanded and largely rewritten to reflect a better understanding of the subject, the book presents much new material, some published here for the first time. Explanation of fundamentals is improved and expanded, and description of applications is greatly increased.

The first portion of the book is a well-organized review of the fundamentals of phaselock, as well as a discussion of the underlying problems faced by designers. Most of this mateiral has been rewritten from the first edition. The material that follows deals with practical aspects of component circuits and with rational procedures for deciding upon phaselock loop parameters.

The remaining chapters provide engineering descriptions and analyses of applications of phaselock. Most of this material is unique.Included are discussions of phaselocked modulators and demodulators, sythesizers, receivers, transponders, oscillator stabilizers, and data synchronizers.

From the Publisher:

Great expanded and largely rewritten, presenting much new and novel material--some published for the first time. Reviews fundamentals and discusses underlying problems faced by designers; presents information that deals with practical aspects of component circuits and rational procedures for deciding upon phaselock loop parameters; provides engineering descriptions and analyses of phaselock applications. Includes unique discussions of phaselocked modulatiors, and demodulators, treatment of synthesizers, receivers, transponders, oscillator stabilizers, and data synchronizers.

From the Back Cover:

A greatly revised and expanded account of phaselock technology

The Third Edition of this landmark book presents new developments in the field of phaselock loops, some of which have never been published until now. Established concepts are reviewed critically and recommendations are offered for improved formulations. The work reflects the author's own research and many years of hands-on experience with phaselock loops.

Reflecting the myriad of phaselock loops that are now found in electronic devices such as televisions, computers, radios, and cell phones, the book offers readers much new material, including:

Revised and expanded coverage of transfer functions
Two chapters on phase noise
Two chapters examining digital phaselock loops
A chapter on charge-pump phaselock loops
Expanded discussion of phase detectors and of oscillators
A chapter on anomalous phaselocking
A chapter on graphical aids, including Bode plots, root locus plots, and Nichols charts

As in the previous editions, the focus of the book is on underlying principles, which remain valid despite technological advances. Extensive references guide readers to additional information to help them explore particular topics in greater depth.

Phaselock Techniques, Third Edition is intended for practicing engineers, researchers, and graduate students. This critically acclaimed book has been thoroughly updated with new information and expanded for greater depth.
