Abstract
A simple method is presented for speeding up the frequency step response of a PLL-based synthesizer which uses an excess output frequency to quickly cancel the accumulated phase error. In this method, current pulses are delivered to the loop filter to overdrive the PLL and later to cancel the frequency error. Experiments confirm a good agreement between measurement results and theoretical expectations
