No this is not correct.  A very conventional Type 2 loop, where the
loop filter consists of an integrator with series RC for the feedback,
and a resistor for the input, will suppress noise at 12 dB/octave with
the corner at w=1/RC.

Which was what I meant. You have your third pole in that filter, but you put away from the dominant pair.

A 3rd order loop is rarely helpful because
the noise is typically limited by phase detector noise floor.
Of all the many hundreds of PLL's I have designed, I don't remember
ever using 3rd order.

I think I just didn't use the terms you expected. Cool it.

Cheers,
Magnus
