PLL simulator for education in a radiocommunication and microwaves laboratory

Abstract

In this paper a new phase-locked loop simulator used to teach this topic in our laboratory will be described. It is a very good tool for real PLO and frequency synthesizers design. This simulator runs on XT and AT compatible PC's having a very high interactive and graphic capability. This working tool has been designed so that the student can visualize the most important characteristics of a microwave PLL subsytem and improve his own design.
