US Patent 7647032 Oscillation control device and synchronization system

An oscillation control device for controlling a frequency of an oscillator located at the remote site from a standard laboratory having a standard oscillator. The control device includes: a comparison section to compare a frequency of the frequency signal synchronized with a radio signal produced by a signal processing section with a frequency of a oscillation signal outputted from an oscillator to be controlled, an acquisition section to obtain, through a communication network, a comparison result which is obtained by a comparison of a frequency of the standard oscillator held by the standard laboratory and a frequency of the radio signal, a calculation section to calculate deviation between the frequency of the oscillator to be controlled and the frequency of the standard oscillator based on their comparison, and a control section to control the frequency of the oscillator to be controlled, based on the deviation calculated.
