ABSTRACT:
A GPS transfer initialization system for initializing a mobile unit from a base unit, includes a GPS receiver in the mobile unit for receiving a GPS signal including a time register, a frequency register, and a GPS reference oscillator for generating a GPS carrier signal of a first frequency; a mobile transmitter/receiver circuit on the mobile unit responsive to the GPS carrier signal, for generating and transmitting a transfer carrier signal of a second frequency that is a multiple of the first frequency; a base transmitter/receiver circuit on the base unit including a GPS calibrated frequency and time reference for providing a GPS calibrated signal of a third frequency; an error detection circuit for comparing the GPS calibrated signal and the transfer carder signal to generate a frequency error signal determined from the difference between them and representative of the error in the frequency of the GPS reference oscillator; and an error correction circuit responsive to the GPS calibrated frequency and time reference and to the error detection circuit for generating and transmitting the GPS time and error signal; the mobile transmitter/receiver circuit including an initializing circuit responsive to the GPS time and the error signal for adjusting the time register and frequency register to the correct GPS time and frequency.
