xiv Digital Clocks for Synchronization and Communications
Preface
It was not until the 1970s that digital systems were first used for large-scale
telecommunication networking. Performance enhancements since then have
been strongly tied to advances in synchronization technology. Modern digital
data transmission cannot work without clocks. Their rhythm—or oscillator
frequency—controls the operation of devices and components, and thus
it must be distributed throughout networks and shared by systems. Current
communication arrangements such as different synchronous digital hierarchy
(SDH)-based variants have the advantage of inherently sharing the same
clock. In practice, high quality clocks are indispensable, as they simplify
operational concepts and enhance the service level observed by the
customers.
The key parameter of a clock is its frequency. Digital communication is
likely to fail if this fundamental attribute is transferred or generated without
regard to its purity. When designing a network, the time domain stability
and spectral purity of the synchronization signal have to be assured for all
network elements and components. A basic telecom clock system involves
both synchronization and signal generation tasks. This book examines the
use of various phase-locked loop (PLL) techniques for clock synchronization
and the direct digital synthesizer (DDS) concept for clock generation.
Although there are many ways of constructing and arranging clock assemblies,
the fundamental issue is achieving adequate signal characteristics. The
goal of this book is to show how this can be achieved.
