- Dariusz Makowski (Lodz University of Technology)
This work presents an experimental implementation of a clock and PPS distribution system using the uTCA backplane to achieve synchronized operation of multiple AMC modules. The point-to-multipoint lines of the backplane allow a single master AMC, connected to a White Rabbit (WR) network link, to share its reference clock and PPS signals with all slave AMCs in the chassis. This enables the...
The DAMC-X3TIMER, a dedicated MTCA.4 AMC module, serves as the central component of the Timing and RF-Distribution System for the PETRA IV accelerator. Initial hardware prototypes have been produced, with the next revision now in production.
This presentation outlines the planned timing system infrastructure, emphasizing the DAMC-X3TIMER’s role in the PETRA IV accelerator complex. It also...
KVG Quartz Crystal Technology GmbH is a professional frequency control products manufacturer, focusing on research, development, production and sales. High-end crystal oscillators are our specialty. We cooperate with DESY for the production and test of the Master Oscillator (MO) module, the Local Oscillator Generation (DeRTM-LOG) module and X-Band middleware. The MO provides 1.3 GHz reference...
Accurate synchronization between detector controllers is important for low-noise readout in focal-plane arrays used for astronomical observations. ESO’s MicroTCA based detector controller (NGCII) uses White Rabbit to enable sub-nanosecond timing and timestamp distribution in a PTP environment. This allows us to accurately synchronize the main sequencer clock from which all detector control...
The University of Hamburg, in collaboration with DESY, is developing an electrical ground-support equipment phasemeter, or phasemeter simulator, based on the MicroTCA.4.1 standard, for the space-based gravitational-wave detector LISA, funded by the German Aerospace Agency (DLR).
The main task of the phasemeter is to extract the phase of various laser interferometer beat note signals with...
