Yes, and an extension of my book should address these issues Ulrich In a message dated 3/8/2016 10:02:33 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, jim...@earthlink.net writes:

In fact, I'd say that given the advent of more "software driven" radios, with things like PLLs with DDS or NCO in the loop, having a text that covers performance on an analytical basis is useful. However, it's a pretty darn small market. (Considering we do a "new design" every 5-10 years) And, we use the data sheets and ap notes as a much as we'd use the textbook. What is really hard to find is good data on the noise properties of the other components. Everyone makes noise plots for the oscillators and amplifiers and publishes them. For instance, what about the noise added by the Phase Frequency Detector - that's not a spec that shows up on the data sheet.
