- 24 - ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE In a satellite communications system, a time slot assignment signal and a reference timing signal are transmitted from a central station to terminal stations to allow them to send bursts on assigned time slots and to establish the frame timing. In the central station, first and second self-resettable counters increment their respective binary counts at clock intervals and reset their counts to an initial value at time-slot intervals. A local timing signal is generated synchronously with the reference timing signal and delayed by an amount corresponding to a minimum round-trip propagation delay to reset the first counter. In an initial, wide aperture mode, the output of the first counter is used to generate control signals for recovering a carrier and clock and widely opening an aperture gate for detecting unique words of a burst that is affected by satellite drift. If a unique word is detected, the central station switches to a narrow aperture mode in which the output of the second counter is used instead to generate control signals for recovering the carrier and clock and narrowly opening the gate to reduce the possibility of detecting false unique words. In a preferred embodiment, the output of the second counter is stored in a memory in response to the detection of a unique word and an average value of the stored counts is derived to optimize the reset timing of the second counter.
