Abstract: The invention relates to the radio-electrical transmission of accurate timing-mark signals. A space-diversity electrical connection is formed between a station having one single antenna and a station having two antennae and one of the stations is equipped with a receiver device which combines into one composite timing-mark signal the different repetitive timing-marks decoded and rectified from high-frequency signals which have traversed several spatial propagation paths. A common automatic gain control circuit weights the decoded and rectified timing marks according to a weighting which diminishes with the level of high frequency reception. Preferably the rectification of the timing marks is carried out non-linearly.
