In the power generation industry, accurate time-keeping by supervisory control systems is of utmost importance. Operational failures can propagate rapidly across plant systems and trigger a chain ...

We’ve gotten used to the fact that the clocks on our internet-connected computers and smartphones are always telling the right time. Time servers, provided by a variety of government agencies as well ...

Adva has extended the capabilities of its compact Oscilloquartz PTP timing technology to enable power utility and broadcast networks to achieve sub-microsecond synchronization. Now electricity ...

Building a universal clock generator would provide extremely accurate timing for GPS satellites and GPS Ground Segment in order for GPS users to be aware of their Earth position. The types of clock ...

NASA and the Italian Space Agency achieved a first on the lunar surface earlier this year when their joint experiment locked onto Earth-based GPS signals from the Moon, producing a navigation fix that ...

Timing from atomic clocks is now an integral part of data-center operations. The atomic clock time transmitted via Global Position System (GPS) and other Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) ...

Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) (Weybridge, UK) has introduced a clock IC that enables system designers to use the standard, readily available and free 1-pps (pulse-per-second) signal of GPS (global ...

The IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol enables precise time synchronization over the packet-based Ethernet network so that the time on a slave clock at one end of the network agrees with a master clock ...
