Key Contents
- Frequency accuracy (free-run): 4.6 ppm
- Noise (wander) Generation:
- Noise (PDV) Tolerance:
- Holdover: based on G.812 Type III clock (Stratum 3E)
- Testing methods: Appendix I describes three methods of measuring the performance of slave clock:
- PDV patterns based on flicker noise
Measures clock performance using input PDV containing equal energy in every decade of
frequency (i.e. flicker noise) - PDV patterns based on combined sinusoidal waveforms
Measures clock performance using input PDV containing multiple frequencies simultaneously - PDV patterns based on a single sinusoidal waveforms
Measures clock performance using PDV containing a sinusoidal modulation of the floor delay
- PDV patterns based on flicker noise
