Gentile K. A Technical Tutorial on Digital Signal Synthesis 1999

Textbook in PDF format

This tutorial provides an excellent treatment of the theoretical and practical aspects of direct digital synthesis (DDS) and is written for the practicing engineer. A number of applications are described including frequency/phase hopping, clock generation, and digital modulation.
Fundamentals of DDS Technology
Understanding the Sampled Output of a DDS Output
Frequency/phase-hopping Capability of DDS
The DDS Output Spectrum
High-speed Reference Clock Considerations
Interfacing to the DDS Output
DDS as a Clock Generator
Replacing/Integrating a PLL with a DDS Solution
Digital Modulator Application of DDS
Using Aliased Images to Generate Nyquist Frequencies from a DDS
Ancillary DDS Techniques, Features, and Functions
Techniques for Bench Evaluation of a DDS Solution
Integrating DDS-based Hardware into a System Environment
