I did one this past year for a WiFi chip (924MHz/1188MHz) using SSB, which is what the customer wanted. But I think, in retrospect, I'd talk the customer into a PLL next time around. I think it'd take up less silicon real estate.

Customer: "I want you to build me a big gun, to be lined up with my right thigh per this here drawing and fired into the ground".
You: "You want to shoot yourself in the foot?!?"
Customer: "No, I want to quickly and efficiently make holes in the ground. Geez."
You: "But your foot is in the way! Look at your own drawing!"
Customer: "Don't be a barrier to progress! Just build the damn thing and bill me!"
You: "Well, if you insist..."
(later)
Customer: "Hey! Your equipment is a piece of xxxx and my foot hurts really bad!"
This is worse when your customer is also your boss, which is why I'm now a consultant...
