BPSK Costas loop: Simulation of nonlinear models in MatLab Simulink

Nonlinear analysis of BPSK Costas loop is a difficult task, so for its analysis simplified mathematical models and their simulation are widely used. In the work it is shown that the use of simplified mathematical models and the application of non-rigorous methods of analysis may lead to wrong conclusions concerning the operability of real model of BPSK Costas loop. Corresponding examples of BPSK Costas loop simulation in MatLab Simulink are presented.
