Summary: 
This letter studies frequency-locked rotations in a phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit as FM demodulator. A rotation represents a desynchronized steady state in the PLL circuit and is regarded as another type of self-excited oscillations with natural rotation frequencies. The rotation frequency can be locked at driving frequencies of modulation signals. This letter shows response curves for harmonic amplitude of frequency-locked rotations. They have several different features from response curves of van der Pol oscillator.
