The effect of the individual block on the loop performance is discussed. The basic concept of synchronization is introduced, and the linear and nonlinear operations of the PLL are covered. Loop components, performance parameters, applications, and some special PLL systems are also examined. Upon completing this course, participants can expect to understand the principles of operation, performance parameters, and design factors of PLLs. Participants should also gain an appreciation of the various PLL structures and their suitability for various applications.
Enrollment is limited and advance enrollment is required.
Participants should have a basic knowledge of communication theory and the concept of time and frequency domain. Familiarity with the concepts of transfer functions and Laplace and Fourier transforms is advantageous. He has extensive research experience in various RF communication systems, and has authored or coauthored a number of papers on pulse modulation, microwave antennas, waveforming, and phase-locked loops.
