Abstract

See full text

A digital phase-locked loop consisting of a digital phase detector for detecting the phase differences between the output and the input frequency signals, a microprocessor programmed to perform both the functions of the loop filter and the phase shifter, and a binary rate multiplier to perform the function of voltage-to-frequency conversion is disclosed. A more precise frequency resolution is obtained by use of the binary rate multiplier and a further reduction in circuit complexity is achieved by removal of the phase shifter circuit in favor of the microprocessor programming.
