New York: John Wiley & Sons, 1976. NOT a library discard. Very Good condition. Previous owner's blindstamp in two places. Something clipped from one corner of the front free endpaper. Occasional highlighting and a handful of light pencil notes/equations. Bound in the original tan cloth, stamped in bright gold on the spine. From the Preface: "The phase-locked loop has been in use for over fifteen years in the domain of space telecommunications and for several years in the far wider fields of telecommunications in general, radiolocalization, and measurement and frequency synthesis instrumentation. One of the essential properties of the phase-locked loop is the restitution of the phase, and thereby the frequency, of a signal immersed in noise, which can then be coherently detected. The coherent detection method fully justifies the many surveys that have been devoted to this subject over the last 20 or 30 years. On the one hand, emitter power is restricted by various practical considerations, such as weight, power consumption, price, interference, or even international power radiation regulations. On the other hand, we require communication over ever-growing distances, implying the constant reduction of link power budgets. Consequently, in many applications, the signal received is very low and the standard reception and detection techniques fail, whereas coherent techniques are remarkably efficient. Phase-locked loops are thus of considerable interest in that they are basic elements in current top-performance reception and detection equipment. Initially studied and developed in connection with space telecommunications, they are more and more widely used in all fields of telecommunications and electronics for, apart from performance considerations, they frequently represent the optimum solution from the points of view of price, simplicity of design, and facility of adjustment. The present book was originally intended as a means for students who have already completed a course in general telecommunications and electronics to acquire the necessary basis for the conception of equipment using coherent techniques. In the course of writing, it seemed clear that with a few additions to the main text, this book could form a most useful handbook for engineers and technicians in industry, responsible for the design, construction, or maintenance of telecommunications equipment.". Hardcover. Very Good condition/No dust jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. xv, 389pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

About Books [Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and out of print books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail order catalogue, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of more than 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialities listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole.
