False clock

In telecommunication, a false clock is a condition where a phase-locked loop controlling a clock locks on a frequency other than the correct frequency.

Note 1: False clock can occur when there is excessive phase shift, as a function of frequency, in the loop.

Note 2: False clock often occurs where the false frequency is a harmonic of the correct frequency.
