Abstract

An intermediate amplification process for digital signals with pulse regeneration, determines the phase difference between the receiving timing signal and the local transmission timing signal and alters the phase of the local transmission timing signal as a function of the phase difference. It is particularly advantageous that the receiving timing signal is used as the transmission timing signal as soon as the phase difference becomes essentially zero. It is possible in this manner to minimize both the startup time delay and the packet spacing, as the number of bits to be stored intermediately may be kept low.
