Abstract

A digital phase-locked loop (PLL) scheme is described which detects the phase and power of a high SNR calibration tone. The digital PLL is implemented in software directly from the description given in this article. It has been used to evaluate the stability of the Goldstone Deep Space Station open loop receivers for Radio Science. Included is a derivation of the Allan variance sensitivity of the PLL imposed by additive white Gaussian noise; a lower limit is placed on the carrier frequency.
