Description
This work discusses how a traditional focus on physical signals in clock composition and time scale generation can limit the potential benefits of digital electronics. The paper presents a digital approach that emphasizes the information carried by sinusoids, rather than the sinusoids themselves, to enable numerical implementation of clock composition functionalities. The work compares an analog approach, involving frequency synthesizers and complex instruments, with a simpler digital approach that uses code to replace most instruments. The work also describes testing of this digital approach at FEMTO-ST and FEMTO-Engineering using state-of-the-art oscillators and facilities.
