                                                   ____________

             KRASS, Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                      


                                              DECISION ON APPEAL                                                      


                    This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of claims 1-3.  Rejections of               
             claims 6-10 and 22-25 have been withdrawn by the examiner and are no longer on                           
             appeal before us.                                                                                        


                    The invention is directed to a phase frequency detector and is best illustrated by                
             reference to independent claim 1 reproduced as follows:
