Abstract
A frequency standard generator includes a voltage controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) for generating high stability output signal, a radio wave receiver to receive a radio wave which includes a high accuracy reference time signal, a time interval measuring circuit which measures a phase difference between the reference time signal and the output signal of the VCXO; a frequency control processor which determines control data based on the phase difference data to phase lock the output signal of the VCXO to the reference time signal, a frequency deviation data generator for compiling the phase difference data to obtain frequency deviation trend data of the VCXO, and a compensation data generator for generating compensation data based on the frequency deviation trend data to compensate frequency changes in said VCXO when the reference time signal is unavailable.
