Radio paging receiver capable of improving accuracy of frame

Abstract

In a radio paging receiver for receiving a pager signal comprising a succession of frames each of which consists of a first through n-th group of signals, a first clock generating unit generates a first clock signal having a first clock rate. A synchronization clock generating unit generates a synchronization clock signal which is synchronized with digital word data derived from a receiving section and which has a synchronization clock rate equal to the first clock rate. A selecting circuit selects one of the first clock signals and the synchronization clock signal as a selected clock signal. A counter carries out a counting operation by the use of the selected clock signal and produces a counted signal. Responsive to the counted signal, a control circuit produces a control signal to make a battery saving switch have an 'on' state and to make the synchronization clock generating unit have an active state. The selecting circuit selects the synchronization clock signal while the control circuit produces the control signal.
