Content of this article and the talk page have been moved from this page containing a typo in the title "Frequency synthesiser" to a new page with correct spelling "Frequency synthesizer".-- Mike Sorensen 10:32, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- Through some complicated process that I can't follow, that improper copy-pasta move was undone. It's hard to tell whether the article started out in British English, or what, but it's been stable for a decade, so that's good. Dicklyon ( talk) 19:52, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
The section on trail-and-error methods seemed very odd, so I got the book by Kroupa, and looked at where our section came from ( this edit in 2008). I'd say get rid of it. It's just Kroupa bragging that before his 1973 book was chaos. Might be slightly true, but he's really not a reliable source on his own impact. And Kroupa doesn't credit Gardner (though I agree Gardner's book was the more inflential; I certainly used Gardner's book, not Kroupa's, when doing DDS in '75). And the reference is poor, with wrong page number for the trial-and-error bit and no article title for the page 3 article. Ditch it? Dicklyon ( talk) 07:27, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
I cleaned up that whole section a bit. Dicklyon ( talk) 19:35, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
Don't have any books at home on this, and the Google snippets are tantalizing - is fractional-N the same as "digiphase" or a development from it? -- Wtshymanski ( talk) 20:23, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
- Good question. My library does not have anything about Digiphase, so I don't have an answer.
- http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1536703/ teaser suggests Digiphase is fractional N

- suggests the same, and states, "The accumulating phase error can be cancelled out - a method that was patented by Racal in a scheme they referred to as Digiphase."
