Problem with 1st order PLL update equation
The output of a communication channel is given by:
$x(t) = \sum_n{a_n}h(t-nT)$,
where $\{a_n\}$ are BPSK symbols, $h(t)$ is the channel response, and $T$ is the symbol period. If there is an ...

NCO loses lock after a while for certain values of alpha
EDIT: So the transfer function for my system is
$$ F_{nco}(z)=\beta E(z)/(z-1)$$
$$ z\Theta_{nco} (z)=\Theta_{nco} (z)+\alpha E(z)+\beta E(z)/(z-1)$$
So I would like to obtain $\Theta_{nco} (z) / \...
