| Abstract: | An efficient synchronisation signal for the s.d.m.a./s.s-t.d.m.a. satellite is described, which achieves accurate synchronisation in one round-trip time, thus eliminating the need for repeated transmissions of synchronisation bursts. An added feature is the direct measurement of variations in path-length time delay, which may be used to track satellite motion. |
