PCT No. PCT/FI91/00254 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 5, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 5, 1993 PCT Filed Aug. 14, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/03880 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 5, 1992.A method for compensating a clock's operating error, the method comprising the steps of: producing a clock frequency (f2) from a frequency (f1) of a high-frequency oscillator by dividing it with a constant (K) and; at predetermined times synchronizing the clock to an external reference frequency, characterized in that during the course of clock synchronization, there is measured a clock operating deviation, which is created during a period defined to be a synchronizing interval, by comparing the phase of the clock to that of the reference frequency and, during the synchronizing interval, i.e., the interval between synchronization steps, the oscillator frequency (f1) is adjusted by means of a controlled variable, such as voltage, based on the measurement of an oscillator operating error, in a manner that the effect of the oscillator operating error on the clock frequency is minimized.
