ARBITRARY ORDER CHARGE APPROXIMATION EVENT DRIVEN PHASE LOCK LOOP MODEL

An alternative technique for the derivation of an event driven phase lock loop (PLL) model is presented enabling the modelling of higher order PLLs. Event driven models have previously been developed for 2nd, and 3rd order PLLs [1,2,3], however for higher order systems (5th, 6th etc.) the derivation of the loop filter difference equations are not amenable. This paper introduces a technique to model PLLs with arbitrary order filters that removes the restriction on the loop order.
