DSN frequency and timing system, Mark 4-85
Abstract
As part of the Deep Space Network (DSN) Mark IVA implementation program, the DSN frequency and timing system is currently undergoing changes. With the implementation of signal processing centers (SPC) at each deep space communications complex (DSCC), major changes to the frequency and timing distribution equipment were necessary. A functional description of the Mark IVA frequency and timing system (FTS) as it exists today and planned capabilities through 1988 is given.
