ABSTRACT:
A simulcast transmitter apparatus having automatic synchronization capability is disclosed which utilizes a signal readily available from any one of a number of available master timing sources to maintain a constant, uniform time delay to the transmitter via its interconnect link, even though the time delay corresponding to this interconnect link is susceptible to variation. Each interconnect link may consist of a phone line or other radio link which exhibits a relatively fixed, but unstable, delay. Each base station includes at least a transmitter and an adaptive-delay device which operates as a remotely-adjustable delay network upon receipt of a resync signal from a central controller to readjust and automatically maintain a uniform amount of time delay to each transmitter in the base stations. A master timing signal receiver, such as a suitable radio navigation receiver, is coupled to a suitable fixed delay network and provides the reference sync signal for each remotely-sited base station throughout the designated geographical area. This transmitter is therefore able to be compensated for varying amounts of delay caused by utilizing alternate links which may be necessary to maintain system reliability while overcoming inclement weather, interference, or other equipment difficulties.
