The phase group synchronization between any signals is further revealed,which is based on proposing the new concepts of the greatest common factor frequency,the least common multiple period,quantized phase shift resolution,equivalent phase comparison frequency and so on.Then the problem of phase comparison and processing between different frequency signals is solved and shown in detail.Using the basic principle and the variation law of group phase difference,the frequency stability better than 10-14/s can be easily obtained in the time&frequency measurement and control domain,and experimental results also show the phase relations between atomic energy level transition signal and the locked crystal oscillator signal in an active hydrogen atomic clock are strict phase group synchronization,and locked precision with 10-13/s can be reached based on phase group synchronization.The phase group synchronization can provide technical support to frequency linking among radio frequency,microwave and light frequency.

According to the requirement of multi-parameter time and frequency measurement without frequency normalization,a different frequency synchronization theory is proposed based on Lissajous figure method and the variation lawof Lissajous figure which are used in practice teaching of frequency measurement. The theory can achieve high-precision transmission and comparison of time and frequency and precise locking and tracking of phase and frequency,improve the level of scientific research on time and frequency for postgraduate,and promote practice teaching innovation of time frequency measurement for undergraduate. Utilizing the ratio of horizontal and vertical inflection point of the Lissajous figure,the nominal frequency of the measured signal is precisely calculated.The frequency deviation between the measured frequency and its nominal frequency can be obtained by combining the turning cycle of the Lissajous figure. By observing the phase relationship between the frequency standard signal and the measured signal,the accurate measurement of the frequency is implemented. Experimental results showthat the direct measurement and comparison better than the 10-11 order of magnitude with common frequency source can be finished between any signal frequencies.The frequency measurement method based on the theory has the advantage of simple operation,quick measurement speed,small error,lownoise and high measurement precision. It plays an important role in time synchronization,communications,metrology,scientific research,educational technology practice and equipment and other fields.
