If sufficient demand

Phase locked loops have many applications and are important in wireless communication systems. The course will therefore provide knowledge in theory and design of phase locked loops.

Introduction to phase locked loops and frequency synthesis, basic phase locked loops, undesired signals and noise, frequency dividers, phase detectors, loop filters, architectures, aquisition aids, all digital phase locked loops, phase locked loops with controllable output phase

understand how a phase locked loop works and can be used, and what parts give different limitations in achievable performance.

be able to choose a suitable architecture for a phase locked loop and its parts to achieve a given performance with low cost and power consumption. Be able to simulate a basic phase locked loop in a CAD-environment for integrated circuits.

be able to benefit from reading scienfic papers on phase locked loop techniques.

Seminars

Project

It is mandatory to participate in at least 80% of the seminars, and that each particiant is contributing to at least one seminar. A simulation project with report is also required.
