Abstract
A system for self-calibrating a clock of a communication terminal for use with communication systems in which a central communication node generates time base correction signals for the terminal clock includes a terminal oscillator which generates an oscillator frequency that includes an error amount. An oscillator calibration filter generates a frequency error estimate amount. Circuitry is provided for subtracting the frequency error estimate amount generated by the calibration filter from the oscillator frequency error amount. Circuitry is provided for applying the time base correction signals to the calibration filter to thereby modify the frequency error estimate amount generated by the calibration filter based upon the time base correction signals generated by the communication central node.
