100-fs long-term timing drift (over 8 hours)
Tens of km fiber link length possible
Any frequency up to 10 GHz possible
High flexibility in terms of clock type, clock frequency and transfer length
Robust and fully automated operation
Multiple frequencies can be transmitted simultaneously e.g. maser frequency at 100MHz or 10MHz with 1pps

Description

Fully automated WAVE Timing Link

WAVE precisely distributes and transfers high-quality RF clock signals to remote locations, which can be even tens of kilometers away. WAVE LINK is actively stabilized and compensates any changes of optical path length caused by e.g. temperature variations. Therefore, multiplexing of other signals along the fiber is also possible.

Applications

Clock or RF signal transfer over long distances
GPS distribution
Maser distribution
Atomic clock distribution
Particle accelerators
Radio telescope arrays
