ABSTRACT:
A bandpass filter is used, which closely matches the characteristics of a closed phase lock loop (PLL) so as to provide an acquisition detector output in a PLL being swept. This detector is not activated by noise generated in the loop due to data or other perturbations. This filter includes a differentiator to exacerbate the filtered output and thus, more clearly define the condition being detected. The phase lock acquisition sweep is disabled when the detector output exceeds a predetermined absolute value. The detection scheme works equally well in approaching the lock frequency from above or below actual lock and a latch circuit ensures that the sweep approach always alternates to compensate for an erratic phase detector in the PLL.
