A SYNCHRONIZATION SYSTEM USING REDUNDANT CLOCK SIGNALS FOR EQUIPMENT OF A SYNCHRONOUS TRANSPORT NETWORK

摘要

A synchronization system (D) for equipment of a synchronous transport network comprises, firstly, a first 5 synchronization module (MA) comprising i) a first submodule (SM1A) delivering a first intermediate clock signal derived from a first external reference clock signal or an internal reference clock signal, ii) a second submodule (SM2A) delivering a first main reference 10 clock signal derived from the first intermediate clock signal or a second intermediate clock signal, and iii) a third submodule (SM3A) delivering a first output reference clock signal derived from the first main reference clock signal or a second main reference clock 15 signal, and, secondly, a second synchronization module (MB) comprising i) a first submodule (SM1B) delivering the second intermediate clock signal derived from another first external reference clock signal and another internal reference clock signal, ii) a second submodule 20 (SM2B) delivering the second main reference clock signal derived from the first or the second intermediate clock signal, and iii) a third submodule (SM3B) delivering a second output reference clock signal derived from the first or the second main reference clock signal.
