Description

In this presentation, we will showcase the metrological evaluation of a newly developed electronic architecture—a custom carrier board built around the Altera Arria10 FPGA—which integrates White Rabbit technology. This system is an original platform tailored for high-performance frequency and time distribution, as well as precise timing capture for phased-array detectors. We will present detailed performance results, highlighting outstanding short-term jitter and long-term stability of the generated clock and Pulse-Per-Second signals. These results demonstrate cutting-edge timing precision and spectral purity in FPGA-based time transfer systems, with impactful implications for time-frequency metrology, radio astronomy, particle physics, and distributed instrumentation, particularly in systems relying on optical fiber networks.
