Abstract

CCITT Recommendation G.811 specifies that all clocks at network nodes should have a long-term frequency departure of not greater than 1 × 10^-11. The authors describe the network synchronization technique used in the Defense Communications System and the equipment used to provide the stability required to meet the CCITT Recommendation. Specifically, the Q5200/SM timing GPS receiver is discussed
