ABSTRACT:
A digital phase locked loop is described which includes a first gate through which incoming pulses are passed to subsequent data processing circuits, a second gate through which reference pulses having a predetermined pulse repetition rate equal to the repetition rate of the wanted incoming pulses are fed to a reset input of a counter such that each reference pulse resets the counter to zero, and a clock generator for feeding clock pulses to the counter. The counter is thereby repeatedly stepped through a predetermined cycle, the nominal period of the counter cycle being equal to the nominal period of the reference pulses, and means responsive to the number stored in the counter reaching a first predetermined value then latches both the first and second gates open for a predetermined relatively short period in each counter cycle during which the counter passes through its zero state.
