Of interest here is the behavior of a stable false lock state as a function of closed-loop gain, and the value of gain at which this state undergoes bifurcation and the loop locks-up. The results show that the DC component in the output of the loop's quadrature detector is proportional to a characteristic exponent of a variational equation obtained from the PLL's dynamics. This DC component can be used to determine how near the false-locked loop is to achieving phase lock. A numerical method is given for calculating the value of closed-loop gain at which false lock breaking bifurcation takes place and phase lock-up occurs. The results are applied to a simple example, and a comparison is made with an existing approximate method.","PeriodicalId":260036,"journal":{"name":"1993 (25th) Southeastern Symposium on System Theory","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125189208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
