Diffusion Approximations for the Analysis of Digital Phase Locked Loops. II. Diffusion Approximations for Nonlinear Phase Loop-Type Systems with Wide Band Inputs.

Abstract

Recent results for getting diffusion limits of a sequence of suitably scaled stochastic processes are applied to the synchronization problem for a digital phase locked loop (DPLL). The discrete time parameter error process is suitably amplitude scaled and interpolated into a continuous time parameter process. For small filter gains and symbol intervals, a diffusion process approximation is rigorously obtained. This approximation is a Gauss-Markov proces and it yields approximate error variances, passage time distributions, correlation properties, (among other properties) for the DPLL. The tracking problem when the clock drifts is also treated. The technique is applicable to a wide variety of related problems, to get continuous time Markov systems which are easier to analyze the original (continuous or discrete time) systems which they approximate.
