A PLL locks on to the nearest cycle, is a Time Locked Loop different? If the decoded time from a GPS system is used discipline an oscillator then leap seconds would have to have a frequency transient to maintain lock. If you use the output to say drive a radio telescope monitoring a distant object you would want Earth’s rotation to be phase or sidereal Time locked. I realise that for such a task far more complex computation would be required. So is a time locked loop a valid concept?
