Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a system (100) for wireless reference signal distribution. The system (100) comprises an antenna array (135) comprising a plurality of transceivers (140a, 140b). The antenna array (135) is arranged to transmit and receive a in radio signal via the plurality of transceivers (140a, 140b). The system (100) further comprises a synchronization signal generator (110) arranged to transmit wirelessly at least one synchronization signal. Each synchronization signal comprises at least one time-dependent signal component, wherein the at least one synchronization signal has at least one time-dependent signal component with an amplitude above a predetermined threshold during a total duration of the at least one synchronization signal. Each transceiver (140a, 140b) is connected to a respective synchronization signal receiver (130a, 130b) arranged to receive the at least one synchronization signal. The synchronization signal receiver (130a, 130b) is arranged to generate a reference signal for the respective transceiver (140a, 140b) based on the received at least one synchronization signal. The present disclosure also relates to corresponding methods and computer programs.
