The latest frequency synthesis techniques, including sigma-delta,
Diophantine, and all-digital

Sigma-delta is a frequency synthesis technique that has risen in
popularity over the past decade due to its intensely digital nature
and its ability to promote miniaturization. A continuation of the
popular Frequency Synthesis by Phase Lock, Second Edition, this
timely resource provides a broad introduction to sigma-delta by
pairing practical simulation results with cutting-edge research.
Advanced Frequency Synthesis by Phase Lock discusses both
sigma-delta and fractional-n--the still-in-use forerunner to
sigma-delta--employing Simulink® models and detailed
simulations of results to promote a deeper understanding.

After a brief introduction, the book shows how spurs are
produced at the synthesizer output by the basic process and
different methods for overcoming them. It investigates how various
defects in sigma-delta synthesis contribute to spurs or noise in
the synthesized signal. Synthesizer configurations are analyzed,
and it is revealed how to trade off the various noise sources by
choosing loop parameters. Other sigma-delta synthesis architectures
are then reviewed.

The Simulink simulation models that provided data for the
preceding discussions are described, providing guidance in making
use of such models for further exploration. Next, another method
for achieving wide loop bandwidth simultaneously with fine
resolution--the Diophantine Frequency Synthesizer--is
introduced. Operation at extreme bandwidths is also covered,
further describing the analysis of synthesizers that push their
bandwidths close to the sampling-frequency limit. Lastly, the book
reviews a newly important technology that is poised to become
widely used in high-production consumer
electronics--all-digital frequency synthesis.

Detailed appendices provide in-depth discussion on various
stages of development, and many related resources are available for
download, including Simulink models, MATLAB® scripts,
spreadsheets, and executable programs. All these features make this
authoritative reference ideal for electrical engineers who want to
achieve an understanding of sigma-delta frequency synthesis and an
awareness of the latest developments in the field.
