Abstract
A limiter is connected with the output of a PLL to limit the amplitude of the output from the PLL. The output from limiter is supplied to a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCXO). The limiter determines the difference between the input signal and the output signal. If the difference exceeds a predetermined value, the change in the output from the limiter is limited to the predetermined value. If the difference does not exceed the predetermined value, the change in the output is considered to be a difference value.
