Abstract
An apparatus comprising a frequency standard circuit and a tracking circuit. The frequency standard circuit may be configured to generate an internal frequency standard and adjust the internal frequency standard in response to a tuning signal. The tracking circuit may be configured to receive a reference signal from an external source and a feedback signal of the internal frequency standard and generate the tuning signal. The tuning signal may be configured to synchronize the internal frequency standard to the reference signal. The internal frequency standard may be implemented local to a frequency converter. The tracking circuit may have a bandwidth that prevents unwanted content on the reference signal from corrupting the internal frequency standard.
