TIME INFORMATION PULSE GENERATION DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve time accuracy of a time information pulse without heightening the frequency of an internal clock of a time information pulse generation device. SOLUTION: The time information is detected from a demodulated information by a time information detection part 10. A pulse generation part 12A outputs the time information pulse 18 at a set time based on the detected time information. The pulse generation part 12A is equipped with a synchronous clocking part 32 for clocking the time difference between the time information and the set time with a resolution of a period of the internal clock 16, and an asynchronous clocking part 34 for clocking the time difference between the time information and the set time with a resolution below the period of the internal clock 16. Hereby, the frequency of the internal clock 16 of the time information pulse generation device 6A is not required to be heightened. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
