phase-locked loop

See PLL.


phase-locked loop [′fāz ¦läkt ′lüp]
(electronics)
A circuit that consists essentially of a phase detector which compares the frequency of a voltage-controlled oscillator with that of an incoming carrier signal or reference-frequency generator; the output of the phase detector, after passing through a loop filter, is fed back to the voltage-controlled oscillator to keep it exactly in phase with the incoming or reference frequency. Abbreviated PLL.
