The FAIR facility involves a long chain of accelerators which need to be tightly synchronized. This is achieved by the General Machine Timing (GMT) system, a distributed event generation system based on the notion of time. Time synchronization is achieved by using White Rabbit (WR), a fully deterministic Ethernet-based field bus for clock transfer and synchronization. The key components of the...

The reference and clock distribution module for the europen XFEL is an MTCA.4 based, double-full size, full width module located in Slot 15 on the rear side of a standard MTCA.4 crate. The module makes use of the RF backplane connectivity and delivers 22 differential LVPECL clocks in the range from 10 MHz up to 250 MHz. The LO frequency range spans from 700 MHz up to 6 GHz and is distributed...
