Which risk increases when a phase-locked loop's (PLL) loop filter bandwidth in a radio receiver is excessively widened?

💡 Explanation

Wider PLL loop filter bandwidth allows more noise to influence VCO control, because of increased susceptibility to spurious signals. Therefore, the PLL erroneously locks onto a spurious signal rather than the desired signal; rather than maintaining cleaner oscillation.
