In this experiment, students will construct a Costas Loop and synchronize it to an incoming BPSK signal using a combination of discrete circuit blocks.
After completing this lab, students will be able to:
Build a Costas loop
Regenerate a carrier signal from carrier-less incoming signal
Understand the effect of the control voltage on the VCO
Appreciate the necessity of tuning the loop VCO
Recover from both analog and digital signals
Understand the basics of loop analysis
