Answer: c

The aligning of the output phase of a voltage-controlled oscillator with reference is called Phase Locking.

5. What is the function of LPF in the following block diagram?

a) Suppress high-frequency components of VCO output and present low-frequency AC signal to PD
b) Suppress high-frequency components of PD output and present low-frequency AC signal to VCO
c) Suppress high-frequency components of PD output and present DC signal to VCO
d) None of the mentioned

Answer: c

The function of LPF in PLL is to suppress high-frequency components of PD output and present DC signal to VCO.

 

6. Instead of Phase detection, if a Frequency detector is used the drawback PLL would face is:

a) Finite difference between input and output frequency
b) Equality cannot be established if PLL compared input and output frequency rather than pulses
c) Error between Vin and Vout cannot be removed
d) All of the mentioned

Answer: d

Instead of Phase detection, if a Frequency detector is used the drawback PLL would face is

  • Finite difference between input and output frequency
  • Equality cannot be established if PLL compared input and output frequency rather than pulses
  • The error between Vin and Vout cannot be removed

a) Δw
b) Δw/Kpd
c) Δw/Kpd.Kvco
d) None of the mentioned

Answer: c

If the input of type 1 PLL is a frequency step of Δw at t = 0, the change in phase at t = infinity is Δw/Kpd.Kvco
