Abstract of US2006164137 A phase locked loop comprising a phase detector ( 100 ) for determining a phase difference between a reference signal (Ref) and mutually phase shifted signals (I, Q) to generate frequency control signals (U, D), the phase detector ( 100 ) comprising: means ( 10 ) for obtaining a first one of said frequency control signals (U, D) by binary multiplication of the reference signal (Ref) and one of the relative phase shifted signals (I, Q); and means ( 20 ) for obtaining a second one of said frequency control signals (U, D) by binary multiplication of the relative phase shifted signals (I, Q)
