Abstract :
The development of a frequency synthesizer which makes use of digital techniques. Description of basic concept which makes use of a counter controlled servo loop which supplies control signal to voltage controlled oscillator which in turn is periodically gated to the input of the counter. Frequency selection is made by proper preseting of the counter.
