Phase locked loops (PLL) and delay locked loops (DLL) play an important role in establishing coherent references (phase of carrier and symbol timing) in digital communication systems. Fully digital receiver including digital carrier synchronizer and symbol timing synchronizer fulfils the conditions for universal multi-mode communication receiver with option of symbol rate setting over several d...

Phase locked loops find wide application in several modern applications mostly in advance communication and instrumentation systems. PLL being a mixed signal circuit involves design challenge at high frequency. This work analyses the design of a mixed signal phase locked loop for faster phase and frequency locking. The PLL is designed in GPDK090 library of CMOS 90nm process to operate at a freq...

This letter studies frequency-locked rotations in a phaselocked loop (PLL) circuit as FM demodulator. A rotation represents a desynchronized steady state in the PLL circuit and is regarded as another type of self-excited oscillations with natural rotation frequencies. The rotation frequency can be locked at driving frequencies of modulation signals. This letter shows response curves for harmoni...

PLL Basics A phase-locked loop is a feedback system combining a voltage controlled oscillator and a phase comparator so connected that the oscillator frequency (or phase) accurately tracks that of an applied frequencyor phase-modulated signal. Phase-locked loops can be used, for example, to generate stable output frequency signals from a fixed low-frequency signal. The phase locked loop can be ...
