DIFF Subclass Not Allocatable
H03L

AUTOMATIC CONTROL, STARTING, SYNCHRONISATION OR STABILISATION OF GENERATORS OF ELECTRONIC OSCILLATIONS OR PULSES (generation of oscillations H03B)

Introduced: January 1980

Description

H03L covers automatic control systems and circuits that manage the operation of electronic oscillation and pulse generators. This includes starting mechanisms, frequency synchronization, amplitude stabilization, and phase control of oscillators and signal generators. The subclass encompasses feedback control loops, phase-locked loops (PLLs), automatic gain control (AGC), and synchronization circuits used in radio transmitters, receivers, timing systems, and other applications requiring precise oscillation management. Related generator design itself falls under H03B, while modulation techniques are classified separately in H03C.
