Good overview of PLL design and phase noise sources
-Digital Frequency Synthesis Demystified: Dds and Fractional-N Plls
Bar-Giora Goldberg
Digital frequency synthesis is used in modern wireless and communications technologies such as radar, cellular telephony, satellite communications, electronic imaging, and spectroscopy. This is book is a comprehensive overview of digital frequency synthesis theory and applications, with a particular emphasis on the latest approaches using fractional-N phase-locked loop technology. The design tools in the accompany CD allow readers to work through the examples in this book for a realistic simulation of actual design using digital frequency synthesis.
-PLL Phase Noise Calculator
Hittite Microwave
PLL phase noise calculator applet from Hittite microwave. The tool is limited to using parts from the Hittite catalog, but it is a very detailed applet and demonstrates phase noise calculations for designers.
-Complex to Real Website
Charan Langton
Comprehensive site with excellent tutorials on RF/Wireless topics. Mostly modulation and DSP oriented, but the library of tutorials is extensive.
-RF and Microwave Circuit Design for Wireless Communicaions
Larry Larson, editor
This book was developed with the hope of bridging the gap between the traditional art of radio and RF engineering and the requirements of today's modern wireless communications systems.
RF:The chapter on digital modulation is a very good reference (by Larry Burns).
