Synchronization. Results of 50 Years Development in the USSR and Russia

In modern telecommunications, radio engineering and measuring technologies, an important place is occupied by systems of synchronization, formation and processing of signals. The development and effective use of such systems is based on fundamental and applied research in the field of dynamic systems theory, signal generation and frequency stabilization, digital signal shaping and processing, statistical communication theory and noise-immune signal reception, as well as a number of other related areas. For 50 years, the international conference “Systems of Signal Synchronization, Generating and Processing in Telecommunications (SYNCHROINFO)” has been held annually. The article sums up the results of the 50-year history of the conference, in which more than one generation of high-class researchers, developers and teachers of the higher education system took part.
