Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a technique for the synchronization of multiplexed television signals within each burst signals received at a remote station or satellite in a TDMA communication system from non-colocated ground stations. The technique employs a dynamic master/slave ground station arrangement where a first station signing on assumes the role of the master ground station. Other stations subsequently signing on synchronize their transmissions to the master station signal burst or the signal burst of the last station to sign on by using apparatus which monitors the received burst from the remote station, measures its own signal delay to the distant station and then phase-locks its local subcarrier clock to the master or last station's transmission burst. Dynamic transfer to the second station signing on occurs when the current master station terminates transmission for any reason.
