Main Clock Synchronization Specifications
Thissection describes the specifications used to measure clock synchronization,including frequency synchronization and phase synchronization specifications.
Table1 provides the technical specifications for frequency synchronization and Table2 provides those for phase synchronization.
Frequency Synchronization Specifications
The deviation between the actual frequency and the standard frequency. It generally refers to the accuracy of a clock in free-running mode.
The deviation between the actual frequency and the standard frequency. It generally refers to the accuracy of a clock in free-running mode.
The deviation between the actual frequency and the standard frequency. It generally refers to the accuracy of a clock in free-running mode.
The deviation between the actual frequency and the standard frequency. It generally refers to the accuracy of a clock in free-running mode.
The formula for calculating frequency accuracy is: Frequency accuracy = (Actual frequency - Standard frequency)/Standard frequency.
The free-running frequency of the OptiX OSN series is accurate to ±4.6 ppm and ±1 ppm for long-term and short-term operations, respectively.
ppm (short for parts per million)
Jitter
The short-term variations of the significant instants of a clock or digital signal from their ideal positions in time (where short-term implies that these variations have a frequency greater than or equal to 10 Hz).
The jitter specification varies according to port. For example, the jitter specification of a 2M or STM-N port complies with ITU G.813; the jitter specification of an OTUk port complies with ITU-T G.8251.
Unit of measuring absolute time: ns, ps
Unit of measuring relative time: UI
UI is short for unit interval, namely, a clock period.
Wander
The long-term variations of the significant instants of a clock or digital signal from their ideal position in time (where long-term implies that these variations have a frequency less than 10 Hz).
The wander specification of the OptiX OSN series complies with ITU-T G.813 when the system clock is locked.
μs, ns
Phase Synchronization Specifications
The variation of the significant instant of a clock signal from its ideal position.
