Abstract
A time division multiple access (TDMA) waveform for controlling a MIL-STD-188-183 compliant demand assignment multiple access (DAMA) satellite communication network contains a short duration and minimal data content, time-hack, that is repeatedly transmitted by a supervisory control radio, so that the time hack occurs twice within a DAMA frame, ensuring that every radio can acquire frame synchronization, irrespective of overlap in receipt of one of the time-hacks with a voice/data channel transmission by that radio. The time-hack also identifies which one among a list of different frame formats stored in the radio is to be employed.
