Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

We present a method for disseminating reference radio frequencies over a fiber-optic line. We describe a circuit for electronic compensation of phase perturbations in a transmitted 100 MHz reference signal over an optical fiber. We give experimental measurement results for the Allan deviation of a 100 MHz reference signal transmitted to the remote end of a 100-km fiber link.
