What is Reddit's opinion of Microwave and Rf Design of Wireless Systems?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Pozar has a book that's a pretty good survey of a lot that went into this:

https://www.amazon.com/Microwave-Rf-Design-Wireless-Systems/dp/0471322822

It covers the linear approximation of PLL design, though it's only a starting point as it gets a lot more technical (and empirical) when you build one. It also covers oscillators, though my implementation was nothing fancy; a common emitter topology voltage divider biased BJT Colpitts oscillator with tunable varactor diodes and a common collector output buffer stage.

I also viewed this document here to gain some more intuition:

Note that this explores digital phase frequency detectors whereas I just used a mixer.

This'll also get you into the weeds:

That should do it. I'll see about the blog. Seems like it would be fun to do if I have time!
