...They entail either the realization of an additional feedback loop detecting the time offset and retiming the injected pulse [13], [24], [26]–[28], or the adoption of techniques aiming to decouple the feedback of the PLL loop from the reference injection (such as the dual-pulse oscillator in [14], [34], or the dual loop in [29])....
