Abstract
A system and method for ensuring proper synchronization of a plurality of frequency sources used in reception diversity-based radio reception. The frequency sources are concatenated in a synchronization loop, through which one frequency source having a high performance oscillator is configured as a master source. Through its oscillator, the master provides an internal synchronization signal that synchronizes all other sources, which have lower performance oscillators and are configured as slaves. Upon a failure in the master oscillator or in the synchronization loop, a slave source takes over as an alternative master source and provides its internal oscillator signal as an alternative synchronization signal to all other frequency sources.
