Abstract
The decoder method and apparatus receives an information stream comprising timing information and respective payload information. A substantially fixed frequency source is used to generate local timing information, which is used to decode the payload information. A difference signal representing the timing difference between the local timing reference and the received timing information is calculated and used to adjust the decoded payload information signal.
