If we assume that initially the Phase-locked-Loop has no input signal, the VCO then runs at its Free-running-frequency, which is set by either an external RC-filter or LC-filter network , here the loop is said to be un-locked. When an input signal is applied to the phase-detector and the VCO frequency starts to change in a direction that reduces the frequency difference b/w the VCO-freq [fVCO ] input freq [fin ] , then the loop is said to have Acquired-capture and is now in the capture-state. The fin and fo are not equal [ ] , but in time they will be equal [ ]. In order for a Phase-Locked-Loop that is initially un-locked to respond to an input signal and then be in capture state. The frequency of the input signal must be with in a narrow frequency-range called the capture-range , which is set by the response-parameters of loop circuit , if fin is out-side this capture-range, the loop will never acquire-capture and the fo of the VCO will equal its freerunning frequency. On the other hand, if the fin is within the loops capture-range, then the VCO frequency [ fo = fVCO ] start to change in a direction that reduces the frequency difference between the VCOfrequency [ fo = fVCO ] and input frequency[fin]. The capture-range is often specified as percentage of VCO free-running frequency so, that the free running frequency is within this capture-range. For-example: consider a system-> [ fin{PLL}fo ] , [Capture-range=Cr ] Given:-> [ Capture-range[ Cr ] = 2 % = 0.02 = Cr ]; of a [ free-running-frequency = 1250 Hz = ffR ]; so,

[ [ So, [ [ [ [ loop will Acquire-Capture. If the [ ], then the loop will Acquire-Capture, and the VCO-Frequency fo will then shift to equal that of the input frequency fin [ fo = fin ] . Otherwise, the output frequency fo of VCO will remain at 1250 Hz for those [ fin < 1225 Hz ] and [ fin > 1275 Hz ]. In general-case:] ] its for Loop will Acquire Capture . ] then the ]; ]; ]

];

When the loop Acquire capture, the fin and fo of PLL are not equal, however, the process is repeated many times going around the loop, the fin and [ fo=fVCO ] are comparedby phasedetector, its DC-output voltage is proportional tothis frequency difference, after filtering through [ LPF =low pass filter ] , this frequency-difference drives the VCO whose output frequency tries to get closer to input frequency. PHASE-LOCKED: Eventually the loop will reach the situation where the VCOs frequency fo and the loops input frequency fin are exactly equal [ fin = fo ] except for a possible phase-shift, when the input[Vin] and output [Vo] signal have exactly the same frequency, except for a given phase-shift, the loop is then said to be locked or Phase-locked. The Phase-shift, if any occers because the Vco is Asynchronous with the input-signal if there is no input signal , the VCO runs along at its own pace [ i-e, its free-running frequency ] , when the loop receives an input signal, its then Asynchronous with the VCO-signal. SETTLING-TIME: Because of the loops transient-behavior, it takes a finite Amount of time for the loop , once it acquires capture, to become locked, this is known as Settling-Time. In a well designed Phase-Locked-Loop-System this may be on the order of several milliseconds, hence the transition from being an unlocked loop to acquiring capture and becoming locked may appear as a virtually instantaneous-process.

Once locked, the input frequency fin can change with in certain limits, and the VCOs output frequencies fo will follow this change.-> [ ]. When fin changes even slightly, the phase-detector, then senses this frequency-difference and the shifting process starts all over again until the [ ] and fin are exactly the same [ except for a possible-phase-difference ] . LOCK [ OR HOLD-IN ] RANGE :- Once locked, the input frequency range over which the VCO can track is called as Lock [or hold-in ] Range . As with the loops Capture-range, the Lock[or hold-in]Range is often specified as a percentage of VCOs free-running-frequency [ ffR ] and is always wider then the capturerange . -> [ Lock{or Hold-in} Range Capture-range ] . Once the loop has acquired capture and phase-lock, if the fin then shifts to a frequency outside the lock-range, then the loop immediately loses Phase-lock and the -> [fo = ffR(VCO) ]. [ ]; For the loop to again be Phase-Locked, the new input signal then has to be with in the loops capture-range to start the cycle all over again. ---------------------------------------[13-2 ] THE FREQUENCY-SYNTHESIZER OR FREQUENCY-MULTIPLIERS: A Frequency-Synthesizer [or Multipliers] is a frequency source whose output is an integermultiple of an input reference frequency. In its simplest form its nothing more than a frequency multiplier and is now an important building block in many communications systems. The basic-frequency synthesizer is formed by breaking the feed back path between the VCO and Phase-detector of the basic PLL and inserting a divide by Nth counter. Example:

In addition, the input-signal reference is Obtained from a very stable crystal-controlled oscillator in [ 1M Hz to --> 10M Hz ] range.

TTL-Based crystal controlled frequency reference from [ 1M Hz ---to- 10M Hz ]. The VCO output frequency [ fo = N.fREF(IN) ] is Nth times greater then input reference frequency [ fREF (IN) ] . The output signal of VCO with [fo=N.[fREF[IN]] ], is then fed to divided by Nth-Counter, which produces one output pulse for every Nth inputs pulses of clock to N counter. The counters Modulus [N] may be either fixed or programmable through [via ] thumb-wheel switches in BCD [binary coded decimal] formate. The output frequency of counter fc is then [ fc=fo/N ]; Nth counter output frequency fc = fc = [
th

].

N -Counter Out put frequency[fc ] = fc = fREF(IN) . When the loop is Phase-locked , the frequencies of two input of phase-detector are equal, except for a possible phase-difference. In communications systems , practical-synthesizers generally have their output frequency [ fo ] in { } range [ VHF & UHF ] , however, synthesizers are capable of working with low-frequency signals in Audio-frequency range [ 20 Hz --- to 20 K hz ] . Very often, a frequency-synthesizer will be used to increase the resolution of a frequencycounter by a factor of 10 or 100 with out increasing the sampling or display up-date time. Most counters use a sampling or display up-date time of 1s . in order to obtain a resolution of one more decimal place, the frequency-counter must then be set to have a sampling or

display up-datetime of 10-seconds, which will take 10time longer to display the input frequency; In this 10-seconds interval, the input signal might change frequency-slightly and give erroneous-readings. Instead of using a very stable fREF(IN) , the frequency that would otherwise be measured by frequency-counter is now fed to input of the synthesizer. The frequency counter is connected to output of VCO and reads either 10 or 100 times larger that the input signal [ fig # 7 ] , forexample : a frequency-counter measures a given signal and indicates a frequency of 974 Hz because of typical ( 1 ) count error inherent to all digital-display, the actual input frequency could be between [ 973 Hz & 975 Hz ] . To achieve a greater resolution, a ( x 10 ) synthesizer is placed between the frequency source and frequency-counter.suppose, the counter reads 9746 Hz the actual input frequency is then [ 9746 Hz/10 = 974.6 Hz ] , {Actually the frequency will be b/w 974.5Hz and 974.7 Hz } , as mentioned earlier, we could set the frequency-counter to have a sampling or display time of [ 10 second ] in order to produce the extra decimal place, but it would take ten times longer to display the fin . Using the synthesizer method , the extra time lag is eliminated. All that is necessary is mentally to divide the displayed frequency by 10 [ or 100, if need be ] to obtain the correct [ input frequency fin = fREF(IN) ].

------------------------ ANALOG-PHASE-LOCKED-LOOP [ A-PLL ] { 560-SERIES ] :[NEW-TOPIC]: There are 560-series of PLL in which [ Vo(VCO] = SQUARE-WAVE ] in all cases of 560-series [ 560B, 561B, 562, 564, 565, 566 and 567 ) . 1. 560B-PHASE-LOCKED-LOOP [PLL] OR FM-DEMODULATOR : 560-series [ Analog-PLL ] -> [ 560B, 561B, 562, 564, 565, 566 & 567 ). The devices in 560-series are commonly referred to as Analog-Phase-locked-loops and they are differ from digital-phase-locked-loops. When locked onto an input signal , two useful output are provided, that is 1) 1st , an output voltage that is proportional to frequency of incoming signal is available at [ pin # 9 ] as the de-modulated FM output. 2) 2nd, output is square-wave output signal of the VCO. The value of external capacitor, connected between pins 2 & 3 , sets the VCO freerunning frequency According to [ ]. The 560B is used primary as an FM-De-Modulator. The VCO is adjusted by Co to the center-frequency of the FM-signal. For most applications , the pair of loop-filter capacitors [ C2 and C1 ] can be calculated as let, -> [ ]. Where [ f3(dB) ] is the desired [ 3-dB ] band-width of the De-modulated-information.

The demodulated FM output at [Pin # 9 ] is an output voltage that is a function of the frequency deviation of input signal. For a [ 1 % ] deviation, the output is approximately [ 0.3 v ] peak-to-peak [ 0.11 VRMS ] . As an example, a standard 10.7 M Hz IF [intermediate-frequency ] circuit has a deviation of approximately [ 75k Hz ].

This AM-Receiver unlike other AM-Receivers requires no capacitor-Inductor tank circuit for tuning, instead, the [ 365pF = CT ] Tuning-capacitor[CT] between pin-2 and pin-3 is Adjusted to make the VCO oscillate at the carrier-frequency of station to be received. To operate, the receiver circuit requires an out-side Antenna and a good ground, in addition sufficient signal [ input] must be present at input of the phase-locked-loop[PLL], otherwise a Swishing sound may result, which is due to the frequency difference between the incoming carrier and the VCO when the loop-lock is un-stable. Another draw-back to this simple circuit is the hand-Capacitance effect as a result of nongrounded capacitive tuning of VCO, one remedy for this problem is to use a Vernier dial and an insulated shaft on the tuning capacitor. Furthermore, the circuits operation may be enhanced by using an un-tuned broad-band Amplifier ahead of the receiver to increase sensitivity while limiting input[I/P]-signal levels to less than [0.5 VRMS ] . ----------------------FINISHED-------
