Abstract
A clocked electronic device, such as a wireless magnetic resonance (MR) receive coil (), comprises a wireless receiver or transceiver () configured to receive a propagation-delayed wireless clock synchronization signal () comprising first and second propagation-delayed carrier signals at respective first and second carrier frequencies separated by a frequency difference, a clock () comprising a local oscillator () driving a digital counter (), and at least one electronic signal processing component () configured to perform clock synchronization. This includes determining a wrap count (k) from a phase difference (φ) between phases of the first and second propagation-delayed carrier signals, unwrapping a wrapped phase (φ) of the propagation-delayed wireless clock synchronization signal using the wrap count to generate an unwrapped phase (φ), and synchronizing the clock using the unwrapped phase.
