  • Patent number: 11757610
    Abstract: A system includes a first integrated circuit device, a second integrated circuit device, and a reference clock provided to the first and second integrated circuit devices. The first integrated circuit device detects a first edge of a first clock utilized by the first integrated circuit device, detects a second edge of the first clock, determines a first count of cycles of the reference clock between the first edge and the second edge, and communicates the first count to the second integrated circuit device. The second integrated circuit device receives the first count, provides a third edge of a second clock utilized by the second integrated circuit device, determines that a first number of cycles of the reference clock since providing the third edge is equal to the first count, and provides a fourth edge of the second clock in response to determining that the first number of cycles is equal to the first count.

  • Patent number: 11616590
    Abstract: A system (100) comprising: a first unit (104) and one or more second units (104). The first unit (102) comprises: a timing reference (114) configured to provide a master-timing-reference-signal; a master time block configured to provide a master-time-signal (117) for the first unit (102) based on the master-timing-reference-signal; and a first interface (122) configured to: receive timestamped-processed-second-RF-signals from the one or more second units (104); and provide a first-unit-timing-signal (262) to the one or more second units (104) based on the master-time-signal.
