Abstract

An apparatus includes a first independently clocked device and one or more second independently clocked devices. The first independently clocked device may comprise a clock generator. The clock generator may be configured to generate a clock signal. The first independently clocked device may be configured to wirelessly broadcast a synchronization signal based on the clock signal. The one or more second independently clocked devices may each comprise respective clock generators. The one or more second independently clocked devices may (a) be configured to receive the synchronization signal from the first independently clocked device and (b) synchronize the respective clock generators to the clock signal of the first independently clocked device in response to the synchronization signal.
