Abstract

A system and method for controlling the frequency of a signal being transmitted wherein the frequency of the signal received at the transmitter site is error corrected before being broadcast. The error in the frequency may be developed and applied to the intermediate frequency upconversion and/or the channel upconversion to reduce or eliminate the effects of the error. In the system and method, a pilot frequency signal can be added to the signal to be broadcast after the signal to be broadcast has been shaped and filtered.
