ABSTRACT:
A clocking system is disclosed for a multichannel data transmission system which includes a temporary storage medium, such as magnetic tape. The system is an improvement over prior art systems which utilize a separate phase locked loop clock correction circuit for each channel. The described system utilizes a single clock for the multiple channels which operates at a frequency F that is an integral multiple of the channel baud rate. Means are provided to continually monitor the phase error of each channel and a composite correction signal is derived and applied to the clock signal which is proportional to the average of the phase errors of the individual channels.
