  • Patent number: 5872821
    Abstract: Recurring digital control signals are provided in a predeterminable time frame, with a high time-dependent resolution and flexibility. Data for the control signals are stored in a write/read memory addressed by an address counter. A comparator is clocked with a multiple of the digital signals bit clock, for comparison with the content of a time Table stored in the write/read memory. For convenience in synchronizing to the time frames of adjacent cells in a cellular network, an offset adder may add the complement of a measured offset (delay) to the comparator clock signal, so that it is not necessary to adjust the values stored in the time Table.
