  • Phase-lock loop circuit
    Patent number: 4039966
    Abstract: A conventional phase-lock loop circuit is modified for use at microwave frequencies. The modification includes a low-frequency oscillator connected in the phase-lock loop to sweep the voltage-controlled oscillator through the frequency of the incoming signal thereby ensuring that lock-in is achieved. The oscillator is automatically turned off when "lock-in" is achieved, thereby reducing residual phase error.
