An in-depth look at the theory and applications of frequency
stability

An understanding of the acquisition of stable frequency is
essential for anyone who needs to solve noise problems in wireless
communications. This book offers a thorough introduction to the
principles and applications of frequency stability, arming
practicing engineers with the tools they need to minimize noise in
systems and devices that affect everyday communications for
millions of people.

With an emphasis on both practical and scientific points of
view, Frequency Stability: Introduction and Applications
examines frequency and time fluctuations in resonators, as well as
the stability of both standard and practical microwave oscillators.
It explains noise properties of building circuit blocks,
introducing time domain properties and how they relate to noise
spectral densities. Including a special chapter devoted to the
design and properties of phase locked loops--a crucial topic
for frequency synthesizers--the book also:

* Examines in detail L/F noise, showing how power losses in the
propagation material extend over a long period of time

* Covers sapphire, optoelectronics, MW, and ring oscillators with
the discussion of noise in delay-line oscillators with lasers

* Offers an extended treatment of phase noise in semiconductors
and amplifiers based on Van der Ziel investigations

* Emphasizes the modified Allan variance in the time domain,
including exact computations

* Outlines the relationship between resonator frequency and
output phase noises via the feedback theory

Featuring numerous tables with actual data, Frequency
Stability: Introduction and Applications is an invaluable guide
for engineers wishing to rein in acoustic and electromagnetic
interference in modern communications.
