A phase-locked loop having a programmable loop bandwidth is provided.

A loop bandwidth configuration of at least one of the locked-loop circuits is adjusted in order to reduce a difference between loop bandwidths of the respective locked loop circuits.

The circuit has a certain loop bandwidth.

A method for calibrating the loop bandwidth of a phase-locked loop (PLL) is described.

The despread incoming signal is subsequently scaled in accordance with the determined adjustment factor such that the input to the synchronization loop is scaled to produce the desired loop bandwidth.

The device of the invention increases the loop band and the dynamic stability without modifying the pre-detection band and the workload of the software.

A control loop has such a sufficiently high loop band width that the noise of the oscillator (103) is not affected by the noise of the voltage-controlled oscillator.

 The receiver local oscillators control the loop band of the PLL circuit by means of the signals from the demodulator.
