ABSTRACT:
A simulcast system for transmitting and receiving signals through a plurality of remote sites within a certain area is generally described. The system automatically equalizes signal characteristics in transmission overlap regions between adjacent sites so that mobile units within the area receive signals of acceptable quality. A particular site is chosen to provide reference characteristics and a series of consecutively adjacent sites are then equalized in pairs. A control site sequentially transmits and receives a training signal through each site to determine an adjustment which will equalize the signal characteristics of successive sites in the series.
