Abstract

A communication system includes a first radio module and a second radio module. The first radio module includes a tuner communicatively coupled to a reference signal generator that is configured to generate a first reference signal for the tuner. The first radio module further includes a serializer configured to serialize a signal output by the tuner. The second radio module includes a deserializer configured to receive a serialized version of the signal from the serializer of the first radio module and deserialize the serialized version of the signal. The second radio module further includes a second tuner that is communicatively coupled to a clock recovery circuit. The clock recovery circuit is configured to generate a second reference signal for the second tuner based on a deserialized version of the first signal, where the second reference signal is frequency and phase locked to the first reference signal.
