We develop a universal method to significantly suppress probe-induced shifts in any type of atomic clock using Ramsey spectroscopy. Our approach is based on the adaptation of the synthetic frequency concept [V. I. Yudin et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 030801 (2011)] (previously developed for blackbody radiation shift suppression) to Ramsey spectroscopy with the use of interrogations with different dark time intervals. The most significant suppression of the shift is obtained in combination with the so-called hyper-Ramsey spectroscopy technique [V. I. Yudin et al., Phys. Rev. A 82, 011804(R) (2010)]. In this case, the probe-induced frequency shifts can be suppressed considerably from metrologically significant levels to below a fractional level of ${10}^{ensuremath{-}18}$ for practically any optical atomic clocks. The main advantage of our method in comparison with other hyper-Ramsey approaches [R. Hobson et al., Phys. Rev. A 93, 010501(R) (2016); T. Zanon-Willette et al., Phys. Rev. A 93, 042506 (2016)] derives from its much greater efficiency and robustness in the presence of decoherence.
