This is a book about real-world design techniques for analog circuits: amplifiers, filters, injection-locked oscillators, phase-locked loops, transimpedance amplifiers, group delay correction circuits, notch filters, and spectrum regrowth in digital radio frequency (RF) transmitters, etc.The book offers practical solutions to analog and RF problems, helping the reader to achieve high-performance circuit and system design. A variety of issues are covered, such as:How to flatten group delay of filtersHow to use reciprocity to advantageHow to neutralize a parasitic capacitanceHow to deepen a notch by adding only two components to the networkHow to demodulate a signal using the secant waveform and its benefitHow to flatten the frequency response of a diode detectorWhen to use a transimpedance amplifier and how to maximize its performanceHow to recover non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data when alternating current (AC) coupling is requiredWhy phase noise corrupts adjacent communication channelsSimple method to prevent false locking in phase-locked loopsHow to improve the bandwidth of amplification by using current conveyorsA very simple impedance matching technique requiring only one reactive componentHow to use optimizationQuadrature distortion and cross-rail interferenceThis book is meant to be a handbook (or a supplemental textbook) for students and practitioners in the design of analog and RF circuitry with primary emphasis on practical albeit sometimes unorthodox circuit realizations. Equations and behavioral simulations result in an abundance of illustrations, following a "words and pictures" easy-to-understand approach. Teachers will find the book an important supplement to a standard analog and RF course, or it may stand alone as a textbook. Working engineers may find it useful as a handbook by bookmarking some of the step-by-step procedures, e.g., the section on simplified impedance matching or group delay flattening.

How to acquire the input frequency from an unlocked state A phase locked loop (PLL) by itself cannot become useful until it has acquired the applied signal's frequency. Often, a PLL will never reach frequency acquisition (capture) without explicit assistive circuits. Curiously, few books on PLLs treat the topic of frequency acquisition in any depth or detail. Frequency Acquisition Techniques for Phase Locked Loops offers a no-nonsense treatment that is equally useful for engineers, technicians, and managers. Since mathematical rigor for its own sake can degenerate into intellectual "rigor mortis," the author introduces readers to the basics and delivers useful information with clear language and minimal mathematics. With most of the approaches having been developed through years of experience, this completely practical guide explores methods for achieving the locked state in a variety of conditions as it examines: Performance limitations of phase/frequency detector–based phase locked loopsThe quadricorrelator method for both continuous and sampled modesSawtooth ramp-and-sample phase detector and how its waveform contains frequency error information that can be extractedThe benefits of a self-sweeping, self-extinguishing topologySweep methods using quadrature mixer-based lock detectionThe use of digital implementations versus analog Frequency Acquisition Techniques for Phase Locked Loops is an important resource for RF/microwave engineers, in particular, circuit designers; practicing electronics engineers involved in frequency synthesis, phase locked loops, carrier or clock recovery loops, radio-frequency integrated circuit design, and aerospace electronics; and managers wanting to understand the technology of phase locked loops and frequency acquisition assistance techniques or jitter attenuating loops.
