Abstract
The general pull-in range and pull-in time expressions are derived versus the relevant system parameters and the initial detuning for any order loop with any type of phase detector by the quasistationary approach. Even though the pull-in time expression becomes more accurate as the loop's order becomes larger, it is correct also for second-and third-order loops provided that the initial detuning, supposed large, is approaching the pull-in range value.
