10 Gigabit White Rabbit: Sub-Nanosecond Timing and Data Distribution
Abstract Time synchronization is a critical feature for many scientific facilities and industrial infrastructures. The required performance is progressively increasing everyday, for instance, few tens of nanoseconds for Fifth Generation (5G) networks or sub-nanosecond accuracy on next family of particle accelerators and astrophysics telescopes. Due to this exigent accuracy, many applications require specific timing dedicated

White-Rabbit-enabled Data Acquisition System
Abstract This work examines the feasibility of using Ethernet-based time transfer methods based on White Rabbit technology to discipline all the clock domains of a networked data acquisition system (DAQ). Existing systems provide synchronization capabilities, albeit the performance achieved is often not accurate enough for scientific infrastructures and Smart Grid applications requiring frequency coherent and
