This work is aimed at practitioners wishing to gain a broader systems-based perspective of phase-locked loops; and is also suitable as a graduate text for engineering students. It provides detailed coverage of digital sampling effects in modern phase-locked frequency synthesizers from a systems perspective, and discusses all aspects of phase noise, its mathematical modelling and its impact upon different digital communication systems. Sections on building blocks for frequency synthesis using phase-locked loops, frequency synthesis using sampled-data control systems, and MASCET, are included.

This text provides design and analysis data on planar microwave transmission structures including microstrip lines, slotlines and coplanar waveguides. It offers comprehensive information on transmission structures used in hybrid and monolithic circuits at microwave and mm-wave frequencies. Included in this revised edition are: expanded and updated coverage of coplanar lines and finlines; design formulas and models on printed transmission lines and their discontinuities; data on microstrip elements and applications in mobile and wireless communications; and analytical techniques such as the...

This book deals with all aspects of industrial, scientififc and medical (ISM) applications of microwaves. The text covers not only the theoretical and applied aspects of electromagnetism, but also explores current research, industrial considerations and historical and regulatory issues.
