Hi all,
I'm trying to design/build a FM detector using a PLL (4046 with carrier frequency = 150 kHz). Anyone know of any good sites I can visit (there are jus too many out there!) / recommended books that i can lay my hands on that provide reasonable heuristics/guides.
ISTR very good application notes on the philips site, probably NXP now

Have you already looked at the official data sheets or appnotes from the manufacturers? If not, that's the best starting place.
"Phase-Locked Loop Circuit Design" by Dan Wolaver is my favorite -- but I'm probably biased by having taken the class from the guy. He's got a chapter on phase and frequency modulation and demodulation which is quite useful. You can buy it at my favorite book store through this link:
The classic in the field is the one by Floyd Gardner, but I don't know if it's still in print, nor can I personally recommend it.
