Analysis of a Hybrid Tracking Loop for Binary Phase-Shift Keying.

Abstract

A Hybrid Tracking Loop (HTL), combining features of the phase-lock loop and Costas loop, is examined. The HTL is analyzed for the case of binary phase-shift keyed modulation, and the linear, small error approximation is used, which permits an analysis of performance with arbitrary loop filters. The rms jitter is determined as a function of the loop parameters. For the case where the various loop filters are the same, results of the jitter analysis are greatly simplified, and a simple scheme for canceling the major source of jitter becomes apparent. This cancellation scheme is examined in greater detail, and compared to results obtained with a wide variety of values for loop parameters.
