ABSTRACT:
In a repeater for a communication system a continuously running local oscillator (P) injects a pilot tone into the repeater input, ahead of all the non-linear functions. The repeater may include an input amplifier 1, a re-shaping amplifier 2 and an output amplifier 3. The pilot frequency is unique to the repeater and is sufficiently close to the clock frequency in a digital system or the carrier frequency in an analogue system to allow the pilot to pass through all the repeater filters. The pilot effects a small phase modulation of the carrier or clock. Measurement of the amount of phase modulation and also the pilot amplitude at the receiving terminal indicates degradation or failure of the system performance. The pilot frequency is used to identify the repeater.
