ABSTRACT:
A bit synchronizer capable of operation over all frequencies, limited only by the speed of the integrated circuits and other components. The input data can be any random antipodal data. A programmable scaling circuit allows the operator to select the desired half octave range of operation. Half octaves can be scanned automatically by the autorange feature of the invention. An acquisition circuit sweeps over the selected half octave, diverting frequency correction pulses in order to sweep a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). Lock is recognized when a preselected number of data transitions with phase error below a preset maximum occur consecutively. A second order phase lock loop (PLL) provides both phase and frequency correction.
