Designing low-power, low-phase-noise, compact frequency synthesizers
is not an easy task. Even with the plethora of synthesizer ICs available
these days, it still takes an experienced designer to successfully
produce a high performance tunable synthesizer or fixed frequency
oscillator source. Here are a few good resources to help you along,
and just in case you decide to let a pro do it for you, a couple
advertisements from companies who know how to get the job done.
