Abstract
In the present chapter the synchronization of the second order type-I loop at the third harmonic of the VCO center frequency is examined. Since synchronization at the third harmonic is due to the parametric action of the DFC, the presence of the LPF prevents its manifestation significantly. Therefore, the study of this kind of synchronization would not be particularly interesting, if it did not contribute considerably to the understanding of the capture effect and the influence of initial conditions. For this reason, the investigation of the third harmonic synchronization precedes the study of the main synchronization.
