Abstract: The present invention provides a highly accurate synchronization method for a satellite communication system (100). The system maintains a downlink symbol counter at an earth terminal and determines a downlink symbol count representative of the time of arrival of a burst transmitted from the earth terminal to a satellite (106, 206). The earth terminal adjusts the downlink symbol counter to correspond to the downlink symbol count (136, 220) upon arrival of a predetermined reference point in a downlink frame. A timing error may initially be determined by launching an entry order wire from the earth terminal to the satellite (116). The timing error may be transmitted to the earth terminal using a correction code which indicates the transmission is early, late, absent, or no change is required (134, 218). The terminal may make additional periodic timing adjustments based on the length of the propagation path between the earth terminal and the satellite (108, 208). The earth terminal may then precisely time the transmission of bursts from the earth terminal to the satellite (130, 214). The length of the propagation path and the timing error may be stored in the earth terminal so that the earth terminal may reenter the system without undertaking multiple commissioning processes.

Abstract: An initial entry processor (40) for use in a processing satellite (12) in a satellite based communications system (10) is provided having a buffer (62), a detection and timing circuit (64) and an identity circuit (66). The buffer (62) stores an initial entry burst (54) transmitted from at least one terrestrial terminal (14) to the processing satellite (12). The detection and timing circuit (64) detects the initial entry burst (54) and determines a time of arrival of the initial entry burst (54) relative to an initial entry burst slot (52). The identity circuit (66) determines an identity of the terrestrial terminal (14) that transmitted the initial entry burst (54) such that the time of arrival is used by the identified terrestrial terminal (14) during subsequent communications with the processing satellite (12).

Abstract: A method of calibrating a scanning system comprising a machine and a measuring probe, includes the steps of error mapping the system statically and qualifying the stylus tip so that the system will provide accurate measurements, determining the positions of a number of datum points on the surface of an artefact with the probe stylus in contact with the workpiece and at zero deflection normal to the surface, scanning the surface through the datum points at a nominal stylus deflection and at the maximum speed which provides repeatable position measurements to make a second determination of the positions of the datum points, determining the errors attributable to the scanning process by subtracting the positions obtained in the first and second determinations, and storing the error values for correction of subsequent measurements of similar artefacts.
