Abstract: The present invention accepts accurately generated pulses, having a frequency of K pulses per second, from a suitable source of such pulses, and uses those pulses to phase correct the operation of a phase lock loop voltage controlled oscillator, which is designed to run at a frequency of N times K pulses per second. The output pulses from the voltage controlled oscillator are passed along a bifurcated path. Along one leg of said bifurcated path, the pulses are directed to a counter where they are divided down to provide an output signal at the rate of NK/P pulses per second and in the preferred embodiment, P equals N. The pulses from the counter are fed at the NK/P rate back to a phase comparator which provides an error voltage at the voltage controlled oscillator for each pulse.
