Abstract

The period of an input signal is subdivided into N parts by carrying out a count, during this period, of the pulses delivered by a clock. This number is divided by N and then the remainder of this division is distributed among all the N parts of the period of the input signal. This technique may be applied to the generation of scanning signals in television.
