Clock Source
Bits clock Line clock GPS

Reference Clock for the MPS or EPS

The reference clocks are provided by the GCUa. The reference clocks generate 8kHz clock signals through the GCUa. MPS: The clock signals are sent to the SCUa in the MPSa subrack through the backplane. Then, the clock signals are sent to other boards in the same subrack.

EPS: The clock signals are sent to the SCUa board in the EPSa subrack through the clock
cable. Then, the signals are sent to other boards through the backplane.

Reference Clock for the TCS

Each TCS extracts line clock from the A interface. The line clock is processed through A interface panel and then generates 8 KHz clock signals. The clock signals are sent to the SCUa in the subrack through the backplane. Then the clock signals are sent to other boards in the same subrack.
