Abstract

A method for generating a data signal for synchronizing one or more electrically coupled digital receivers is disclosed. A data signal having a data rate is modulated with a pseudo-noise (PN) code having a data rate greater than the data rate of the data signal. The modulated data signal is demodulated by a receiver using the PN code. A correlation value is generated and is compared to a predetermined value to indicate phase synchronization. If the receiver is in phase synchronization with the transmitter, the received demodulated data signal is passed.
