Description
This contribution, planned as a sort of short summary/tutorial, will cover the basics of RF synchronization, starting with theoretical definitions and an attempt to put together and organize concepts and names frequently confused by various people. Items such as the definition of synchronization systems and their accuracy measures will be discussed, followed by sources of instabilities and methods of achieving required precision. The concept of phase drifts and noise will be introduced, followed by basic phenomena influencing these measures in practical systems. Various methods of signal generation and distribution will be shown, including representative examples of passive and active, as well as RF cable and optical fiber-based systems.
