Hi Regardless of how you do things, the input to input isolation needs to be better than you might think at first. With a PLL, a “spur” 60 db will come right through the loop if it’s close enough. In general, the loop bandwidth will rarely be narrow enough to take care of the offending signal. You have to do *something* to keep them isolated.
