Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep a VCO oscillation frequency of a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit in asynchronous state to a constant value, by feeding back an output of a voltage comparator which compares a control voltage controlling an oscillating frequency of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) with a reference voltage to an input of a loop filter. CONSTITUTION:The PLL consists of a phase comparator 2, the VCO7 and an active filter 8, and a phase comparator 3, a voltage comparator 4 and a 90 deg. phase shifter 6 detect the locking state of the PLL. When the PLL is not locked to an input signal, a switching circuit 9 is activated to control an input voltage to the active filter 8, allowing to keep the oscillating frequency of the VCO constant.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a phase-locked circuit (phase-locked loop).

As is well known, when the PLL is not synchronized with the input signal, there is no output voltage from the phase comparator, and the loop is in an open state.

Generally, the frequency and phase of the input signal do not match those of the vCO in a free-running oscillation state because they are not in a synchronous relationship. Therefore, a beat signal output corresponding to the frequency difference between the two signals is generated at the output of the phase comparator. When this beat frequency is below a certain value determined by the characteristics of one loop, the VCO gradually reduces the frequency difference and synchronizes. However, outside of that range, the frequencies simply approach and depart, but the average frequency does not decrease and synchronizes. Can not do it. Therefore, a method of sweeping the frequency of the input signal or the oscillation frequency of the vCO is adopted to capture the input signal of a PLL used in a normal system.

In the case of the method of sweeping the input signal frequency, it is necessary to keep the oscillation frequency of the vCO constant at a value corresponding to the center frequency of the input signal until acquisition is completed.

However, in general, in order to improve the response characteristics of PLL,
A high-gain active filter is used as a loop filter, but in this case, the oscillation frequency of the vCO is fixed at the upper or lower limit frequency of the variable range due to the influence of its DC offset voltage, making it impossible to capture the input signal. 3. The present invention was made in view of the above points, and its purpose is to provide a phase-locked circuit that can keep the oscillation frequency of the vCO constant during the PLL input signal capture process. be.

The reference voltage Vb determines the predetermined 700 frequencies,
It can be set to any value within the variable range. In the differential amplifier A2, the relationship between the control voltage Vc and the reference voltage ■b is Vb.
When <Vc, a positive voltage is output, and when Vb>Vc, a negative voltage is output, and the voltage is fed back to the input of the DC amplifier A1. Here, when the PLL is in an open state, the control voltage vc of the VCO 7 tends to change in the direction of its saturation voltage due to the DC offset of the DC amplifier Al, but the feedback circuit of the first filter 8 controls it so that Vb=vc. As a result, the oscillation frequency of the VCO 7 is kept constant. When the PLL is in a synchronous state, the switching circuit 9 is turned off, and the output of the voltage comparator 5 is not fed back to the input of the filter 8.

Therefore, it is possible to capture the input signal even if the sweep range of the input signal is narrowed, and when it is necessary to narrow the equivalent noise bandwidth of the PLL, such as in deep space communication, there is an advantage that the capture time can be shortened. It also stores the VCO control voltage in synchronization with the regular input signal, and
By adding a circuit that generates a reference voltage equal to the voltage, it is easy to recapture loss of synchronization due to accidental disturbances, and it is also possible to compensate for long-term fluctuations in the VCO1.
