Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for synchronizing a plurality of transmitters in a distributed transmission system. A data source generates a digital signal. A central data processing component inserts synchronization data into the digital signal. The synchronization data includes a periodic reset signal. A plurality of radio frequency transmitters each comprises a Trellis coder. At least one Trellis coder state at each Trellis coder is reinitialized to a predefined default state in response to the reset signal.
