Abstract
A frequency control assist device is configured to: calculate an average value of pulse numbers each of which is a pulse number of a reference signal generated by an oscillator in one cycle of a PPS signal generated based on a GPS signal, from a total of the pulse numbers counted for a time period whose length is a predetermined number times the one cycle, the average value being an average value of the pulse numbers each for the one cycle; and every time a deviation between a specified value of a reference frequency of the reference signal and the average value falls below a target value, reduce the target value from the current value and increase, from the current value, the predetermined number that specifies the time period for obtaining the total of the pulse numbers from which the average value is to be calculated by an averaging circuit.
