A METHOD FOR GENERATION OF ACCURATE DOPPLER-FREE LOCAL CLOCKIN SATELLITE/WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

A method for generating a Doppler-free local clock in a communications netwo rk having a master reference terminal (400) and a terminal (200) exchanging reference and management bursts, includes steps for determining a transmit timing correction value responsive to the management burst received by the master reference terminal (400), determining a receive timing correction val ue responsive to the reference burst received by the terminal (200), and adjusting the frequency of a clock responsive to both the transmit timing correction value and the receive timing correction value to thereby generate the Dopper-free local clock.
