Some brief theory and typical measurements of phase noise. Standard analysis of PLL phase noise used by most CAD applications. How to produce the lowest phase noise at a PLL output. A standard design ...

This is Part 1 of a three-part series. As modern wireless communications systems (mainly superheterodyne radio transceivers) are now required to deliver higher performance than ever before, they’re ...

This application note discusses phase frequency detector characteristics that affect phase-locked loop (PLL) dead band and jitter performance. In PLLs that employ charge pump loop filter designs the ...

The HEF4046B is a phase-locked loop circuit that contains a linear voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and two discrete phase comparators that has a common signal input amplifier and a common ...

In the first of a four-part series, Robert Dusenbury provides an overview of how his team went about designing and producing a golf putter to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of closed-loop ...
