Why must a very stable reference oscillator be used as part of a phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer?
A.
Any amplitude variations in the reference oscillator signal will prevent the loop from locking to the desired signal
B.
Any phase variations in the reference oscillator signal will produce phase noise in the synthesizer output
C.
Any phase variations in the reference oscillator signal will produce harmonic distortion in the modulating signal
D.
Any amplitude variations in the reference oscillator signal will prevent the loop from changing frequency
