Distributed Direct Digital Synthesis over White Rabbit D3S
This project aims at distributing periodic (mainly clock) signals of arbitrary frequencies over a White Rabbit network. A clock is encoded at a master node and unidirectionally broadcast to any number of receiver nodes, which recover an in-phase copy of the original signal. Number of distributed clocks depends only on network bandwidth, required latency and acceptable accuracy level.
Possible applications in the accelerators are:
- Beam-synchronous timing
- RF clock distribution
- RF or beam-synchronous signal acquisition
