Phase Detector For Rectangular Waveforms

Phase detector for use with phase-locked-loops, servocontrol, and other electronic circuits designed to avoid disadvantages of other phase detectors. Used with both intermittent and continuous input signals. Circuit offers several advantages; reference signals continuous, burst of few pulses, or single pulse. Circuit "coasts" in absence of reference signal. Generates no steady-state output waveform at lock which makes filtering easier.

Burst-Locked Oscillator Avoids Side Lock

Counting circuit corrects errors when side lock occurs. Digital error-detection-and-correction circuit in color-television oscillator circuit provides synchronization when color-burst frequency drifts outside normal tolerance. Digital side-lock-prevention circuit used in television color-burst phase-lock-loop oscillator provides greater tolerance of off-frequency signals than crystal-controlled oscillators.
