Because modulator rise times differ, triggers to each amplifier stage must usually be separately adjusted to provide proper synchronisation without excessive wasted beam energy ... However, timing is not a problem with fully self-pulsing CFAs and is of concern only at the trailing edge of the pulse with dc-operated control-electrode CFAs. 2, record 2, English, - timing

Le synchronisateur est le cœur du système radar. Il délivre les signaux de base qui définissent les instants d'émission, et divers signaux annexes nécessaires à des opérations en temps réel. Son élément de base est une horloge de très grande stabilité [...] à partir de laquelle sont engendrés les signaux de synchronisation. Ces signaux sont distribués aux différents éléments à piloter. 3, record 2, French, - synchronisation
