Mannessivitch's landmark text is a milestone in the synthesizer design community. For the first time, a clear and concise explanation of synthesizer theory and design is put to paper and is presented in a manner which transcends time and technology. His treatment of the impact of synthesizer performance on system degradation is well-thought and complete. Finally, the presentation of various technologies (both analog and digital) can be used for years to come. A must-have

Don't need say much...it is the best book in Frequency Synthesis...period!

This book is a classic. I constantly used a colleague's copy for the longest time. Finally I decided to get my own. It is a must have for anybody working on frequency synthesizers. But this is not what makes it great, it is the additional information that the author adds. Shielding effectiveness, control isolation. Topics which are essential to low noise synthesizer designs, but are normally not included in text books. Many of these are things that one only picks up through experience, empirically, and they are presented here well organized and easy to follow. Another author that I also like, because of similar style and constant addition of this type of hard-to-find data is Randy Rhea.
