Features of high-precision sync-signals formation for distributed systems based on a synchronous Ethernet network

The Ethernet network is actively used to increase the degree of integration and unification of the developed transceiver modules. The use of the PTP protocol and SyncE allows achieving subnanosecond precision synchronization. In addition, FOCL is used to exchange signaling data. This paper investigates methods for generating clock signals and sync signals, which can be used to start generating a signal on a DAC's or capturing data on an ADC's. It is possible to synchronize an unlimited number of transceiver modules using only one fiber-optic cable for both synchronization tasks and for data exchange and control by using the proposed scheme. The developed method of generating sync signals may be applied in the field of experimental scientific research, radar technology, monitoring systems for complex systems, and other.
