PLL and FLL Tracking Errors

This lecture covers the dominant sources of phase and frequency errors in PLL and FLL tracking loops, including phase jitter, dynamic stress error, and thermal noise. It also discusses the total jitter for third and second-order carrier loops, as well as the error variance in DLL discriminators. The presentation includes examples of total jitter, bandwidth considerations, and rule of thumb guidelines for error limits. Additionally, it explains the closed-form expressions for error variance and the loop transfer functions for PLL and FLL. The lecture concludes with insights into the 1st order PLL and the equivalent noise bandwidth definition.
