Abstract :
This paper presents an overview of the ELSTAB technology developed at AGH University of Science and Technology for time and RF frequency distribution over optical fibers. The general idea of the stabilization of the fiber link delay is described, and its application for joint time and frequency distribution is presented. Next some extensions of the basic solution, proposed for long-distance and multipoint links are introduced. Finally, two field-deployed installations of the ELSTAB system in Poland are characterized.
