ABSTRACT:
An embedded circuit is placed in a phase-locked loop having the normal phase detector and voltage-controlled oscillator. The embedded circuit is transparent to phase-locked conditions of the loop and becomes operative in an oscillatory mode only when the loop loses its lock. An oscillatory detector is used to detect the oscillatory condition of the embedded circuit and causes the application of a sweep signal to the voltage-controlled oscillator to reestablish phase-locked conditions in the overall phase-locked apparatus.
