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. \u003ci\u003eFrequency Acquisition Techniques for Phase Locked Loops\u003c\/i\u003e offers a no-nonsense treatment that is equally useful for engineers, technicians, and managers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSince 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: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePerformance limitations of phase\/frequency detector-based phase locked loops\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe quadricorrelator method for both continuous and sampled modes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSawtooth ramp-and-sample phase detector and how its waveform contains frequency error information that can be extracted\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe benefits of a self-sweeping, self-extinguishing topology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSweep methods using quadrature mixer-based lock detection\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe use of digital implementations versus analog\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrequency Acquisition Techniques for Phase Locked Loops\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e Errata can be found by visiting the Book Support Site at: http: \/\/booksupport.wiley.com\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDANIEL B.
