5.2. Synchronization principle
When multiple AM systems are installed in each other’s vicinity, it’s very important to
properly synchronize the TX pulses and receiver windows for all systems involved. If
systems are not properly synchronized they will create false alarms and poor detection.
Keep in mind that AM signals, when compared to other EAS technologies, can “travel”
quite far (up to 100m or more) because of their longer wavelength.
Two AM systems that are properly synchronized
If two or more AMTEK Processor antenna are connected to the same main power
phase they would not need to be synchronized by either hardware or software.
