LPF VCO FM Detection: Phase Lock Loops Basic Task of PLL: Lock the instantaneous angle of a VCO with the instantaneous angle of an external signal. i.e., lock (or track) the phase and frequency. CS477: Analog and Digital Communications
Phase Lock Loops • Used in • Modulators and demodulators • Synchronizers • Frequency synthesizers • Multiplexers • Locks or synchronizes the external angle with the output angle of VCO • A negative feedback system based on phase comparison CS477: Analog and Digital Communications
LPF PLL: Phase Comparator CS477: Analog and Digital Communications
Integrator Linearized PLL Models Assumptions: 1. Incoming frequency is approximately the same as the VCO free running frequency 2. Phase error is small such that: Consider phases as the signals for further analysis CS477: Analog and Digital Communications
Linearized PLL Models CS477: Analog and Digital Communications
If is a lowpass filter, i.e., Then is a first-order lowpass filter First order PLL requires loop gain to be greater than the frequency deviation Thus second order PLLs are used in practice. FM Detection using Linear PLL Model (for FM input) CS477: Analog and Digital Communications
(Non-linear channel) Non-linearities in FM FM transmission is robust against channel variations! We need a BPF; what are the requirements? (Carson’s rule) With this BPF, output is: Unlike AM, FM can combat amplitude non-linearities! CS477: Analog and Digital Communications
