In a phase-locked loop, the loop filter is placed mainly between the phase detector and VCO to?

  • ASmooth the detector output and shape loop dynamics
  • BGenerate the reference frequency by itself
  • CRectify the VCO output for power conversion
  • DEliminate the need for feedback
Report an error
Correct Answer: A. Smooth the detector output and shape loop dynamics
Explanation: The loop filter removes unwanted high-frequency detector components and determines important loop bandwidth and dynamic characteristics.
