Synchronization of large acquisition bandwidth brings great challenges to the traditional second-order phase-locked loop (PLL). To address the contradiction between acquisition bandwidth and noise suppression capability of the traditional PLL, a new second-order PLL coupled with a nonlinear element is proposed. The proposed nonlinear second-order PLL regulates the loop noise bandwidth adaptively by the nonlinear module. When a large input⁻output phase error occurs, this PLL reduces the frequency offset quickly by taking advantage of the large bandwidth. When the phase error is reduced by the loop control, the proposed PLL suppresses noises by using the small bandwidth to increase the tracking accuracy. Simulation results demonstrate that the tracking speed of the proposed PLL is increased considerably, and its acquisition bandwidth is increased to 18.8 kHz compared with that of the traditional second-order PLL (4 kHz).
