The results are presented for the study of an installation for transmission of a highly stable frequency signal with relative instability no greater than 4·10–17 on a fiber-optic communications line over a distance of 150 km. The installation uses external modulation of laser radiation and active electronic compensation of phase noise. The installation makes it possible to provide synchronization or time scale comparison of mutually separated time and frequency standards that are a component of the highest-category time and frequency standards.
