This technique has potential in phase measurements, demodulation techniques, phase radar and spread-spectrum communications. %@ 0013-5194 %T Modification of phase-locked-loop performance using a sample-and-hold circuit %B Electronics Letters %D August 1983 %V 19 %N 17 %P 681-682 %I Institution of Engineering and Technology %U https://digital-library.theiet.org/;jsessionid=22nb1oa9ruslj.x-iet-live-01content/journals/10.1049/el_19830464 %G EN
