Radio device including a frequency synthesizer and phase discriminator for such a device

摘要

A radio device includes phase discriminator with a phase locked loop. Where when there is no phase locking, the output voltage of the phase discriminator remains constant, which provides considerable gain for loop. When there is phase locking, the phase discriminator produces an error proportional to the phase difference. An output of the phase discriminator has a constant amplitude with an input signal and a reference signal have different frequencies.
