Abstract

Abstract

To satisfy the demand of the high precision time and frequency synchronization for engineering application, to reduce system complexity and ensure the construction of large-scale optical fiber network for time and frequency transmission, a method of high precision time and frequency integration transfer via optical fiber based on pseudo-code modulation is developed. The optical fiber time and frequency transfer system is designed and built. The unidirectional and bidirectional time and frequency transfer test via optical fiber are completed. In the unidirectional time-frequency transfer test, the influence of temperature change on the transmission delay of the system is analyzed. In the bidirectional time-frequency transfer test, the system additional time transfer jitter is 0.28 ps/s, 0.82 ps/1000 s, the additional frequency transfer instability is 4.94×10^–13/s, and 6.39×10^–17/40000 s. The results show that the proposed method achieves high precision time and frequency integration synchronization, and the system additional time transfer jitter is better than the current optical fiber time synchronization schemes.
