White Rabbit Absolute Calibration
White Rabbit Absolute Calibration Authors: Henk Peek, Peter Jansweijer Abstract: White Rabbit (WR) is a widely used implementation to create high accuracy time dissemination networks. Onsite network calibration can be avoided when using absolute calibrated components, which can be freely exchanged withoutrecalibration. Absolute calibration of high accuracy time dissemination network components enables independent developersand/or vendors
