Noise Performance Analysis

In this chapter, we will study PLL in the presence of noise. No attempt is made to present a complete discussion since this is adequately accomplished in the literature. Our purpose is to provide basic understanding of PLL performance in the presence of noise. The PLL with additive Gaussian noise is analyzed. The discussion of nonlinear analysis is limited to the first-order PLL with additive noise. We also briefly talk about the effect of phase noise. The MATLAB simulation for the first-order PLL with additive noise is given in the last section.
