We are going to talk about:
Synchronization
Synchronization Types

Digital Communication 2 9/21/2010

Synchronization
Two signal are said to be synchronous if both cross
the time ( or phase) axis simultaneously or have fixed
mutual offset.
In coherent demodulation baseband signal is
recovered from the passband signal coming from a RF
transmitter by using a locally generated signal at
receiver which is synchronous with the incoming
carrier
The process of generating a signal at receiver that is
synchronous with the carrier is called Carrier
Synchronization or Carrier Recovery.
Once baseband signal is recovered the next step is to
extract square clock signal from the received
baseband signal, this is called clock recovery or
symbol synchronization
9/21/2010 6
Synchronization Types
Frequency Synchronization
Only Frequency of the locally generated signal is equal to that of
incoming carrier. The phases may be different.
It is used in non-coherent demodulation
Phase Synchronization
Phase of the locally generated signal is equal to that of incoming
carrier
It is used in coherent demodulator for carrier synchronization
Symbol Synchronization
Square Clock signal is recovered at the receiver which is coherent
with that of transmitter. It means phase of the recovered clock is
same as that of transmitter
Frame Synchronization
Framing clock recovered at receiver is same as that of transmitter
This helps to demultiplex the E1/T1 streams properly

Coherent Receiver Vs. Non-coherent
Receiver
Coherent Receiver requires, Phase and
symbol synchronizations
Non-Coherent Receiver needs frequency
synchronization ( in some techniques) but
doesnt need phase synchronization.
However it requires symbol synch.

How to Synchronies two signals?
It is done by using Phase Lock Loop (PLL)
PLL is a feedback loop system in which the
signal generated in PLL, the feedback signal,
follows the input signal, the reference signal.
When the two signals have same frequency
and their phase difference is either zero or
some fixed value, the PLL is said to be locked
During locked condition the Internal signal , a
sinusoid, then represents a filtered version of
the reference signal.

Phase Detector (PD)
It is a nonlinear device that detects phase difference
between the two input signals. It is also called
Phase comparator.
Its inputs are the reference signal and the signal (
generally sinusoid) generated by the VCO.
Its output , the error voltage or phase error,
depends on phase difference between the two input
signals.
The error voltage is used as the control voltage for the
VCO.
The phase error may or may not be filtered before applying
to VCO
9/21/2010 12
Phase Detector (PD)
When phase error is very small, PD becomes
linear and hence the following relation holds.

Loop Filter
Loop Filter (LF)
It is a Low Pass filter.
It removes any noise and high frequency
components (sum signal) from the output voltage
of phase detector and passes the difference signal
thus giving an average (dc) voltage, called error
voltage.
The output of loop filter, V
f
(t) which is almost
equal to error voltage, forces the frequency of VCO
to change in direction that reduces the frequency
difference between input and VCO.
It is the primary building block that determines
dynamic performance of loop, which includes the
following factors:
Capture and Lock Range
Bandwidth
Transient response

All Digital PLL
PD , loop filter and VCO are digital
VCO that takes digital input and outputs digital signal
is called DCO or NCO
The digital PD produces samples of phase error in an
n-bit value
The value is fed to a digital filter whose output adjusts
the frequency of DCO

All Digital PLL Example
The digital PLL produces pulses that go in count up or
count down inputs of a counter, which acts as loop
filter

PLL Operation..(3)
If the frequency difference (
i

o
) is smaller than cut-off
frequency of loop filter it will pass through it applied to
VCO.
The difference signal will continuously change the frequency
of VCO from minimum to maximum before PLL is locked
If VCO frequency can change up to
i
then its frequency
becomes equal to input frequency at some value of v
f
(t) (
which is almost equal v
d

PLL is locked and VCO frequency will start tracking input

Second Order System Parameters
Natural Frequency (w
n
)
It is frequency at which frequency response ( H(w) vs w plot)
curve peaks (or is at it maximum value) for given value of
damping factor
When a signal ( phase or frequency change in the form of
step or ramp) is applied to PLL its transient response
oscillates around the steady state value for a while before
achieving it.
The of frequency of oscillation depends on damping factor.
The frequency of oscillation when damping factor is zero is
called natural frequency
It determines the bandwidth of PLL
Damping Factor ( )
It is ability of the loop to controls the amount of overshoot or
peak of frequency response at natural frequency as a result of
input frequency step.
It controls how long the system will oscillates before attaining
steady state value during any transient response
It also affects the bandwidth of PLL

Salient Features of Second-ordered PLL
Bode Plot
It is low pass filter
The spectrum is flat (at DF=6) up to natural frequency
It passes input phase signals having spectrum ( bandwidth)
less than the natural frequency.
It means that a second ordered PLL is able to track phase and
frequency modulation that lie within the band.
3-dB Bandwidth of the loop is given by:

Transient Response of PLL
When an under damped second order system
encounters a sudden change at input, such as
PLL input signal shifting from one frequency f1
to the other f2 in the form of step or ramp,
the output of VCO tries to follow this change
but oscillates about the frequency f2 for a time
and eventually settles out at the new
frequency (i.e. the steady state)
The time required by PLL to achieve steady
state value after a step is applied at its input is
the settling time.
The higher the damping factor lower the
settling time.

Jitter
Jitter is variation in the zero crossing of a waveform.
In digital communication system noise superimposed
on received signal causes jitter in signal output binary
signal as shown below.
9/21/2010 92
Phase Noise
Phase noise is the variations in the phase of a waveform as
a result of jitter.
The Phase noise causes the widening of the signal in
frequency domain because of phase modulation of the signal.
Consider the following noise free signal:
v(t) = A cos(2f t).
Phase noise is added to this signal by adding a random
process represented by to the signal as follows:
v (t) = Acos(2ft + (t)). [ Phase modulation]
Jitter(seconds) = PhaseError (degrees) /
(360xFrequency(hertz))
It is expressed in units of dBc/Hz ( decibels relative to
carrier) at various offsets from the carrier frequency .

PLL Design Consideration
Loop Gain.
It affects the phase error between the
input signal and the voltage controlled
oscillator for a given frequency shift of the
input signal.
It also determines the `hold-in range'' of
the loop providing no components of the
loop go into limiting or saturation. This is
because the loop will remain in lock as long
as the phase difference between the input
and the VCO is less than 90 degrees.
The higher the loop gain, the further the
input can change in frequency before the 90
degrees phase error is reached.
9/21/2010 106
PLL Design Consideration..(2)
Natural Frequency.
The bandwidth of the loop depends on
natural frequency which is determined by
the filter components R1, R2 and C1, and
the loop gain.
The selection of the bandwidth may be
governed by several things:
Noise bandwidth
modulation rates if the loop is to be used as an
FM demodulator
hold-in range.
Digital Communication 2 9/21/2010
9/21/2010 107
PLL Design Consideration..(3)
There are two conflicting requirements
that will have an affect on loop bandwidth:
a) Loop bandwidth must be as narrow as possible
to minimize output phase jitter due to external
noise.
b) The loop bandwidth should be made as large
as possible to minimize transient error due to
signal modulation, output jitter due to internal
oscillator (VCO) noise, and to obtain best
tracking and acquisition properties.
Optimum solution lies some where in between
FM is designed on the basis of b criterion
given above

It can be seen that the maximum phase
error occurs when the modulating
frequency W
m
equals the loop natural
frequency Wn
If the loop has been designed with a
damping factor of 0.707, the peak phase
error (in radians) will be 0.71*
From this plot, it is possible to choose
Wn for a given deviation and modulation
frequency.

FSK Demodulator Design Using PLL
If the loop is to demodulate frequency shift
keying (FSK), it must follow step changes in
frequency.
The filter components must then be chosen in
accordance with the transient phase error
response for a frequency step
It must be remembered that the loop filter
must be wide enough so the loop will not lose
lock when a step change in frequency occurs:
the greater the frequency step, the wider the
loop filter must be to maintain lock.
