Abstract

A frequency synchronization method includes: receiving, by a slave clock, a first pulse signal and a second pulse signal; determining, by the slave clock based on a first phase difference, a second phase difference, a first delay, and a second delay, that a frequency offset of the slave clock relative to the master clock is equal to a first frequency offset, where the first phase difference is a difference between a phase of a third pulse signal generated by the slave clock and a phase of the first pulse signal received by the slave clock, and the second phase difference is a difference between a phase of a fourth pulse signal generated by the slave clock and a phase of the second pulse signal received by the slave clock; and calibrating, by the slave clock, frequency of the slave clock based on the first frequency offset.
