METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR SYNCHRONISATION

摘要

A method of synchronisation for pulsed wireless communication between a first transceiver and a second transceiver, the method comprising the steps of:
transmitting a pulse signal from a first transceiver to a second transceiver;
transmitting a reflection signal from the second transceiver to the first transceiver if the transmitted pulse signal is received at the second transceiver within an active reception period of the second transceiver; and
detecting the reflection pulse to determine synchronisation between the first transceiver and the second transceiver. Apparatus for carrying out the method is also described. In an embodiment of the invention the reflection signal is generated by a super-regenerative oscillator.
