				 common phase DDS? 
 
			
			I think you'll have to find a way to synchronize the startup ('reset')of allthe DDS's. If you don't, they'll all start clocking at different times. The
 output doesn't come for some number of clock cycles later, depending on
 what's loaded into the counters. Because of this, you'll have "phase lock"
 but not "phase coincidence".  Synchronizing DDS's is described by Analog
 Devices in an appp-note on generating quadrature signals using 2 DDS chips.

 Well actually, the project I had in mind was to take the 60 khz WWVB
 signal and use diode harmonic multipliers to create a clock in the
 gigahertz range.  I would then use this clock as the input to a DDS
 system.    I could use the GPS to calculate lightspeed delay between
 the VFO and the WWVB to determine compensating phase lag.
 
 This could be good for synchronizing the transmit and receive ends of a
 digital communication, improving the signal to noise ratio.
