Stratum 3E Clock Module
This section provides user reference information for the Stratum 3E Clock module
(part number 23413015-000-0 used in the SSU-2000e. This module provides a
lower cost backup clock solution for the system.
Functional Overview
The Stratum 3E Clock module meets or exceeds the performance requirements for
ITU and ETSI Type III Local Node clocks and ANSI and Telcordia Technologies
(Bellcore) Stratum 3E clocks.
The Stratum 3E Clock module receives measurement data from the Input modules,
provides frequency control of the outputs through DDS circuitry, and generates a
reference signal for use by the Input and Output modules. The Stratum 3E Clock
module communicates with the Communications module and the Stratum 2E Clock
module to maintain phase synchronization with the redundant Clock module. The
Stratum 3E Clock module’s hardware and software provides for temperature
compensation, aging compensation for the Quartz oscillator, an initial offset
adjustment, and frequency adjustment resolution of 1 x 10E
-13
or better.
