  • Patent number: 5119043
    Abstract: A multi-band processing system for automatically tuning the oscillator of a phase-locked loop to the frequency and phase of an applied input. The system includes an error detection circuit, a frequency controller, a scaling circuit, and a phase and frequency controller. The applied input and the oscillator output are coupled to the error detection circuit whose error output drives a charge pump/filter circuit. An error signal is derived from the difference between the loop charge pump output V.sub.1 and a preset charge pump zero error reference signal V.sub.ref, wherein the frequency controller regulates the oscillator output frequency according to a frequency error component of V.sub.1 -V.sub.ref, the scaling circuit scales the oscillator output frequency according to a system scaling signal N, and the phase and frequency controller adjusts the oscillator output frequency and phase according to V.sub.1 -V.sub.
