Phase-locked loops (PLLs) are now widely used in communication systems and have been a classic system for more than 60 years. Well-known mathematical models of such systems are constructed in a number of approximations, so questions about how they describe the experimental dynamics qualitatively and quantitatively, and how the accuracy of the model description depends on the behavior mode, remain open. One of the most direct approaches to the verification of any model is its reconstruction from the time series obtained in experiment. If it is possible to fit the model to experimental data and the resulting parameter values are close to the expected values (calculated from the first principles), the quantitative correspondence between the model and the physical object is nearly proved. In this paper, for the first time, the equations of the PLL model with a bandpass filter are reconstructed from the experimental signals of the generator in various modes. The reconstruction showed that the model known in the literature generally describes the experimental dynamics in regular and chaotic regimes. The relative error of parameter estimation is between 2% and 50% for different regimes and parameters. The reconstructed nonlinear function of phase is not harmonic and highly asymmetric in contrary to the model one.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
