Transmission of Highly Stable Time Signals Over Optical Fiber Communication Lines

Resumo

We present the results of investigations of an installation aimed at the transmission of highly stable 1 PPS time signals from the hydrogen time and frequency standard over a 150 km optical fiber communication line with the use of active electronic compensation of time delays. The error (mean-square deviation) of transmission of time signals does not exceed 80 psec on the daily interval of averaging. The installation enables us to guarantee the synchronization of the time scales of remote time and frequency standards included in the primary and secondary standards of time and frequency units.
