Abstract

See full text

What is described is a circuit arrangement and a method for synchronizing the communication signals between a repeater station (S) of a single-frequency simulcast radio communication network (N) and user terminals (T) with respect to a universal reference signal sent by a central station (M) of the network (N) communicating with the repeater station (S). A frequency offset is determined between a universal frequency reference signal received from the central station (M) and a local frequency reference signal of the repeater station (S), and in the repeater station (S) there are provided a first feedback control loop for supplying a signal for controlling a local oscillator of the repeater station (S) on the basis of the said determined frequency offset, and a second direct control loop for supplying a signal for compensating the residual synchronization difference of the local oscillator (16) to which the transmitter device of the station (S) is tuned.
