FREQUENCY
PRC (ITU G.811 1x10-11)
TIME & PHASE
PRTC (G.8272 100ns to UTC)
• Frequency distribution
 Time/Phase distribution
requires a Primary
Reference Clock (PRC)
• The PRC is usually have 3
PRS (Cesium clock, GPS)
 The PRC output is a
telecom frequency such as
2048kHz or framed E1
output
requires a Primary Reference
Time Clock (PRTC)
 This reference must come
from GNSS
 The PRTC output is a 1PPS
ideally with timestamp or time
code
 This timestamp must be
linked to UTC.
