The Direct Synthesis of a Receiver Clock (DSRC) contributes a method, system and apparatus for reliable and inexpensive synthesis of inherently stable local clock synchronized to a referencing signal received from an external source. Such local clock can be synchronized to a referencing frame or a data signal received from wireless or wired communication link and can be utilized for synchronizing local data transmitter or data receiver. Such DSRC can be particularly useful in OFDM systems such as LTE/WiMAX/WiFI or Powerline/ADSL/VDSL, since it can secure lower power consumption, better noise immunity and much more reliable and faster receiver tuning than those enabled by conventional solutions.
