Abstract

The output of a local oscillator is applied to an external signal to produce a feedback error signal. The feedback error signal is utilized in adjusting the phase, frequency and amplitudes parameters of the local reference sine-cosine quadrature components which comprise the output of the local oscillator signal. Adjusting the parameters modifies the output of the local oscillator. The modified output of the local oscillator is applied to the external signal to continuously modify the feedback error signal, which in turn, continuously modifies the output of the local oscillator until the frequency and phase of the local oscillator signal is locked to that of the external signal.
