PLL Phase margin - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi all,

I am looking for good explanation about phase margin and its relation
to PLL stability.
Why 45 degree is optimum ?

Thanks in advance,

Noise

Phase margin of 45 deg. is a good compromise between the lock time of the loop and an adequate loop stability.

Phase margin is defined as 180deg minus the phase of the open loop, at the frequency of the loop bandwidth.

For detailed explanation about phase margin and other PLL related topics, you can read in the following line:
