4.2.7 PLLBANDWIDTH Set the phase lock loop bandwidth
Depending upon the environment, it may be beneficial to change the Phase Lock Loop (PLL)
bandwidths. The default bandwidth of the GPStation-6 is 10Hz, however tracking performance in
certain scintillation environments may be improved by changing this bandwidth. This command also
allows the default channel aiding to be changed for secondary signal tracking loops. Issuing this
command will cause all affected channels to reset lock as they re-initialize their tracking loops.
There are some considerations when using this command:
• Lower bandwidths impedes the ability of the feedback loop to track step functions, resulting
in more “hang-off” phase errors in the measurements. Step functions can occur in the phase
when the clock frequency has small jumps or “pops” that the PLL needs to react to. The
GPStation-6 uses a low noise OCXO to minimize these jumps, but in extreme cases clock
frequency “pop” could cause extra losses of lock in lower bandwidth PLLs.
• Changing the bandwidth will change the overall phase noise of the ADR measurements.
Generally, the higher the bandwidth, the noisier the ADR measurements, but the more robust
the tracking loop.
• By default, all secondary signals except GPSL2P(Y) are tracked independently on the
GPStation-6. It is recommended that this setting not be changed for ionospheric monitoring
applications.
