Generating a plurality of clock signals or high-frequency signals

An apparatus for generating a plurality of clock signals or high-frequency signals, the apparatus comprising:

• a reference signal generator that is connected to an oscillator and that generates a reference signal having a reference frequency;
• and
• at least one signal processor connected to the reference signal generator via a first signal line and to which the reference signal is supplied,
• wherein the signal processor is configured to generate an output signal having a frequency less than the reference frequency, and
• wherein an external clock signal is supplied to the reference signal generator, the reference signal generator being configured to determine a frequency of the external clock signal and to convert the frequency of the external clock signal to the reference frequency.
