Abstract: The Dynamics of a second order Phase locked loop (PLL) has been critically examined in the face of two co-channel input signals. Applying the analytical tool based on Melnikov’s technique, a range of design parameters of the Phase locked loop has been obtained which ensures the stable loop dynamics. It is observed that the said range depends on the relative amplitude and frequency of the input signals. The analytical predictions are verified through numerical simulation results of the system equations. 
Keywords: Phase locked loop, Melnikov’s function, Voltage control oscillator.
