Abstract

See full text

An adjustable bandwidth phase-locked loop including a phase-locked loop having a first input node receiving an input signal having a first frequency, a second input node receiving a feedback signal and an output node which has a signal indicative of an error signal characterizing a frequency error between the input signal and the feedback signal. The adjustable bandwidth phase-locked loop includes a voltage controlled oscillator, coupled to the second input node, receiving the error signal and generating the feedback signal where the feedback signal has a frequency which tracks the first frequency. The adjustable bandwidth phase-locked loop includes a variable loop filter, coupled between the phase-locked loop and the voltage controlled oscillator, filtering the error signal. The variable loop filter is configurable to allow for the tracking of the input signal over both of a broad bandwidth and a narrow bandwidth.
