Frequency synchronization

Frequency synchronization refers to the process of aligning the oscillation rates of two or more signals or systems to operate at the same frequency. In practical terms, it ensures that generators, clocks, or electronic devices stay in step with one another, preventing errors or disruptions. For example, in power grids, it ensures that different generators produce electricity at the same frequency, maintaining stability. This synchronization involves adjusting the operating conditions so that all parts oscillate together smoothly, which is essential for reliable and efficient operation of interconnected systems.
