A 10 MHz hydrogen clock signal transferring system
In order to meet the long-term frequency stability sharing requirement of 10 MHz hydrogen clock signal (HCS) between different buildings in the same scientific research park, a low-cost and highly integrated solution for optical-fiber-based 10 MHz HCS transferring setup is proposed. In the scheme, a 1 GHz radio-frequency signal (1GRFS) is used to modulate the laser intensity and optical fibers are used for signal transmission.In principle, the sum of the source 1GRFS and signal reflected from remote is frequency-divided firstly and then phase-compared with the HCS to be transferred. Then the error signal from the phase comparator is fed back to modulate the frequency of the 1 GHz oscillator to lock the phase between the remote 1GRFS and the HCS. Therefore, the remote 1GRFS has the same frequency stability as the HCS. Afterwards, a 10 MHz signal is generated at the remote site through a frequency divider as RF reference output. Furthermore, experiments are carried out to verify the precision of the system. It is shown that the additional frequency stability of the HCS transferring system is
