Design and Implementation of Antenna - 5th Semester Mini Project

This repository contains a MATLAB implementation of a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) with a focus on simplicity and clarity, built as part of my mini project for the 5th semester. The project is a refined version of a similar project I came across at kschutz68/PLL_PD_PN.

Project Overview

The main objective of this project is to create a simple yet well-documented and easy-to-understand implementation of a Phase-Locked Loop. The implementation was developed in multiple drafts:

1. 1st Draft (Original Concept):
   This version was based largely on the information from the kschutz68/PLL_PD_PN repository. It contained a combination of both MATLAB code and Simulink blocks. Due to the complexity of integrating MATLAB and Simulink, it was difficult to work through the code.

2. 2nd Draft (MATLAB + Simulink Refined):
   In an attempt to simplify the project, I tried to either embed Simulink within the MATLAB code or make the entire project MATLAB-based, but faced some challenges in streamlining the process.

3. 3rd Draft (MATLAB-Only Solution):
   I decided to stick to MATLAB entirely and removed all Simulink dependencies. This version was easier to handle and focused on pure MATLAB scripting, leading to a cleaner and more manageable project.

4. 4th Draft (Final Version):
   The final draft is a refinement of the 3rd draft. It further improves on the structure, readability, and documentation, providing a simpler, more explained version of the PLL project. This version is more user-friendly and offers better explanations to help understand the inner workings of the PLL.

Acknowledgements

I would like to acknowledge the original kschutz68/PLL_PD_PN project for providing the initial concept and inspiration for this mini project. Although my code is simpler and more explained, the original project served as a foundational reference.

Project Structure

The repository contains the following drafts:

• Draft1: Initial version with MATLAB and Simulink integration.
• Draft2: Refinement with either MATLAB embedded Simulink or partial MATLAB replacement.
• Draft3: Fully MATLAB-based PLL implementation.
• Draft4: Final version with improved readability and documentation.

Go Through the Final Version

It is highly recommended to go through the Final Version as it is explained in more detail than the other drafts. It has improved structure, more in-depth explanations, and is the most refined version of the project.

How to Run

1. Clone the repository to your local machine.
2. Navigate to the respective draft folder.
3. Open the MATLAB script (e.g., pll.m).
4. Run the script in MATLAB environment.

Ensure you have a MATLAB version compatible with the code provided. No external dependencies are required.
