 "FREQUENCY MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL is a valuable compilation of recent research results in the 'continued quest to improve the performance of oscillators.'...The book does a very good job of covering all the relevant issues involved in frequency locking, starting from materials sciences (the basics of frequency references), all the way to control theory (frequency locking, measurements, and synthesis). The authors skillfully guide the reader by suggesting background reading material, reviewing important research results and anticipating future developments that could be triggered, for example, by advances in materials science. Overall, the book is very well written and well suited to its target audience. It is a clear and well-organized reference, with a wealth of information and pointers to information."
