Description

Frequency synchronization method utilizing coherent clock system in high-speed data transmission
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of distributed detection, is suitable for a sparse deployment cross-region distributed detection system, and provides high-precision time-frequency reference transmission and 10Gbps data stream transmission. Only a single optical fiber channel is occupied, the integrated realization of the functions of time frequency and data transmission is realized, and the frequency synchronization precision and the ten-thousand-megabyte data transmission bandwidth of the magnitude of 1E-13@s are realized.
Background
When the deployment range of the distributed detection system is expanded across regions, the matched construction of a brand new optical fiber network can bring extremely high cost. Deployment of fiber optic networks by current operators is an important way to achieve cross-regional deployment and is also a key technical research direction. Investigation has shown that the operator network generally comprises a two-level architecture of a metropolitan area network and a wide area backbone network. Metropolitan area networks are used in cities, and coverage ranges are generally tens to hundreds of kilometers, and are divided into a core layer, a convergence layer and an access layer. Wide area backbones are used to aggregate multiple metropolitan area networks covering cities, regions, provinces, or even countries ranging from hundreds to thousands of kilometers. The base optical fiber network of the operators is fully utilized, and the distributed detection system can realize hundreds of kilometers coverage.
According to the traditional optical fiber time-frequency transmission and data transmission method, 3 independent bidirectional channels are occupied by the transmission of 3 services of time, frequency and high-speed data, and the requirement of a single detection node on the number of optical fiber channels reaches 6 channels. The invention envisages that by means of an optical network deployed by an operator, single-fiber single-wavelength bidirectional time-frequency synchronization and high-speed data transmission functions are realized. The optical wavelength resource of the optical fiber transmission system can be fully utilized, and the optical fiber transmission system has the characteristics of picosecond time synchronization precision and 10Gbps data transmission bandwidth.
There are some worth of experience to be borrowed with respect to the integrated implementation of time, frequency, high-speed data 3 services. For example, the inter-satellite laser calibration synchronization link, IEEE1588v2 protocol, white rabbit protocol, etc., but has a small gap from the target. The inter-satellite laser calibration synchronous link and the IEEE1588v2 protocol adopt a mode of loading a time stamp in a data frame, and the ns-level time synchronization is completed while the two-way communication is performed, so that the frequency transmission function is avoided; the white rabbit protocol uses second pulse and time scale data as time standard carrier and 125MHz data clock as frequency standard carrier, the frequency synchronization precision is 1E-11@s magnitude, and the difference is larger than the 1E-13@s magnitude required by the distributed detection system.

Further, in the step (3), the far end performs joint phase discrimination by using the far-end frequency discrimination phase discrimination value and the received frequency discrimination phase discrimination value of the opposite end, and then loop filtering is performed on the far-end joint phase discrimination value to obtain a voltage control signal of the voltage-controlled crystal oscillator; the method specifically comprises the following steps:
the remote end utilizes the frequency discrimination phase discrimination value of the remote end and the frequency discrimination phase discrimination value of the received opposite end to carry out comprehensive processing to obtain the phase difference of signals at the two ends, designs the filtering rate and the loop bandwidth according to the system requirement to obtain specific loop parameters, and utilizes the phase difference and the loop parameters to obtain the voltage control signal of the voltage-controlled crystal oscillator through correlation operation.
