Abstract
The Phase locked loop (PLL) was conceived by H. De Bellescize in 1932 [2]. Since then, it is widely used in applications involving automatic control of phase or frequency, such as applications in communications, control systems, measurements and instrumentation. Furthermore, the PLL mechanism is encountered in many biological oscillators, such as the heart and the lungs [14], [29].
