synchrotrons are cyclotrons but the electrons are accelerated to relativistic speeds hence their masses increase so their frequency of revolution decreases. Thus the frequency of the alternating electric field given must also decrease. That is the frequency of electron rotation must be in 'sync' with the alternating field, hence the name synchrotron.
