Time generation and distribution system for a military national synchronization
Abstract
The requirements, concept, and principle of a French air force time generation and distribution system are presented. The system provides homogeneous dating of events throughout the country. It generates and distributes time codes and precise frequency used for high precision measurements, telecommunications, etc. Accordingly the need is to provide on each operational site an accurate and stable time reference based on UTC time scale. The system consists of a common reference (GPS (Global Positioning System)) independent clocks and time distribution that provides time to all the user equipment on each operational site.
