ABSTRACT:
An improvement to a half duplex multipoint communication environment wherein a pilot tone enables a control device to maintain synchronization with a plurality of remote devices. The present invention employs a quantization noise compensator apparatus and method to supply a single bit, two level analog signal to drive a Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator (VCXO) in a remote device. The VCXO derives the sample rate signal for both transmit and receive devices, eliminating the requirement for a highly accurate digital to analog converter, thus reducing the cost and complexity of the system while allowing continuous synchronization between a control device and a plurality of remote devices.
