Abstract
A master unit includes a synchronization signal source that generates a synchronization signal and a synchronization signal distribution adjustment circuit that adjusts a distribution timing of the synchronization signal to each of slave units. The synchronization signal distribution adjustment circuit includes a period measurement circuit that measures a period of the synchronization signal output from the synchronization signal source, a time difference measurement circuit that measures a time difference between a time point of the synchronization signal issued from the master unit to the slave units and a time point of the synchronization signal returned from the slave units to the master unit, and a delay circuit that delays the issuing time point of the synchronization signal to be transmitted from the master unit to the slave units based on the period of the synchronization signal and the time difference.
