A wide band digital phase locked loop (pll) with a half-frequency output

A digital phase locked loop includes an automatic gain control that applies a gain to an input signal in order to provide a gain controlled signal. A 90° phase shifter applies a 90° phase shift to the gain controlled signal in order to provide a 90° phase shifted version of the gain controlled signal. A phase detector is driven by the gain controlled signal, by the 90° phase shifted version of the gain controlled signal, and by sinusoidal and co-sinusoidal signals. A loop filter integrates an output of the phase detector and provide servo equalization for the phase-locked loop. A digital dual frequency oscillator has a fundamental frequency controlled by an output signal from the loop filter. Also, the digital dual frequency oscillator generates the sinusoidal and co-sinusoidal signals.
