Tag: Time&Frequency

Time synchronisation in networks is important for many applications. This article presents the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and its extension PTPv2 White Rabbit. The later one enables clock synchronisations with precisions in the sub nano second time scale.

The two application areas 'Time&Frequency' (T&F) and 'Quantum Communication' (QuC) have special technical requirements for data networks. For the transfer of high-quality signals, T&F requires bi-directional amplification, which in conventional data networks requires the signals to be...
