Abstract

This paper contains the theoretical description and simulation results of a novel phase detector. This method, originally developed by Zuta (1998) for frequency synthesizers, can be extended to carrier synchronisation, greatly increasing the pull-in range and reducing phase noise and settling time compared to conventional PLL techniques. This makes it ideally suited for frequency hopping and burst mode mobile digital communication applications
