Abstract

Phase detectors having sawtooth-type transfer characteristics are superior in some respects to those having cosine-type transfer characteristics. However, the superiority exists only for large input signal-noise ratios. It is shown that for small SNR, the sawtooth characteristic degenerates into a cosine characteristic.
