What is Costas loop theory?
Costas loop is a classical phase-locked loop (PLL) based circuit for carrier recovery and signal demodulation. The PLL is an automatic control system that adjusts the phase of a local signal to match the phase of the input reference signal.
What are the disadvantages of Costas loop?
The costas loop is having disadvantages of long settling time and instability. The DPLL mechanism for frequency and phase estimation used here can overcome these problems. This scheme also overcomes the problem for recovering the signal with higher offsets.
What is Costas loop in analog communication?
Costas loop is used to make both the carrier signal (used for DSBSC modulation) and the locally generated signal in phase. Following is the block diagram of Costas loop. Costas loop consists of two product modulators with common input s(t), which is DSBSC wave.
What is the difference between PLL and Costas loop?
The main difference between this Costas loop and the standard PLL is in the feedback branch where a multiplicative operator and a low-pass filter are applied to the demodulated signals before the PID controller.
