Using population synthesis techniques, we investigate the orbital period distribution of ‘recycled’ pulsars. We find that the relative distribution of systems with periods between approximately one and fifty days are reasonably well reproduced. However, the existence of binary pulsars with periods between 70 and ~ 1000 d cannot be explained within the evolutionary framework considered here.
