According to various embodiments of the present invention, the apparatus 100 for generating a time synchronization signal may include a reception unit 110, a processor 120, and a time synchronization signal distribution unit 130.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the receiving unit 110 may receive the first GPS signal and the second GPS signal through each of the first antenna and the second antenna included in the time synchronization generating apparatus 100 . The receiving unit 110 may receive and duplicate GPS signals. The first GPS signal and the second GPS signal may be the same GPS signal. In this way, the receiver 110 can receive the same GPS signal through a separate antenna.

The receiving unit 110 may transmit the received first GPS signal and the received second GPS signal to the processor 120, respectively. In addition, the receiver 110 may receive the GPS signal combined with the first GPS signal and the second GPS signal to transmit the GPS signal to other devices using the GPS signal as a direct time synchronization signal, To the distribution unit 130.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the processor 120 may receive the first GPS signal and the second GPS signal from the receiver 110. The processor 120 may extract state information of each of the first GPS signal and the second GPS signal. The processor 120 may compare state information extracted from each of the first GPS signal and the second GPS signal. The processor 120 may set one of the first GPS signal and the second GPS signal as a reference signal based on the comparison result.

The processor 120 may set, as the reference signal, a signal capable of performing time synchronization more precisely among the first GPS signal and the second GPS signal through the comparison result.

The processor 120 may continuously monitor the first GPS signal and the second GPS signal and report state information of the first GPS signal and the second GPS signal to an upper processor. The processor 120 may directly set the reference signal based on the extracted state information or may set the reference signal based on an instruction received from an upper processor. The reference signal may be used as a reference signal for generating various types of time synchronization signals.

The processor 120 may generate a plurality of clocks and time information synchronized with the set reference signal. The processor 120 may generate a plurality of clock and time information used for generating various types of time synchronization signals to be synchronized with the reference signal. The processor 120 may generate a plurality of clocks and time information required by the time synchronization signal distributor 130. [

For example, the processor 120 may control the time synchronizing signal distributor 130 based on the type and type of the time synchronizing signal generated and distributed by the time synchronizing signal distributor 130 according to the configuration of the time synchronizing signal distributor 130, A plurality of clocks and time information required by the signal distributor 130 can be confirmed. The processor 120 may generate the plurality of clock and time information to be synchronized with the reference signal.

The processor 120 may transmit the plurality of clocks and time information generated in synchronization with the reference signal to the time synchronization signal distribution unit 130. [

The time synchronization signal distributor 130 may generate a plurality of time synchronization signals of different types using the plurality of clocks and time information received from the processor 120. [ The time synchronizing signal distributor 130 can generate a different type of time synchronizing signal.

Hereinafter, it is assumed that the time synchronizing signal distributor 130 generates three different types of time synchronizing signals. Each of the time synchronizing signals of different types is supplied to the first time synchronizing signal distributor 140, the second time synchronizing signal distributor 150 and the third time synchronizing signal distributor 150 included in the time synchronizing signal distributor 130, And the signal distributor 150, respectively. However, this is merely an example for convenience of explanation, and is not limited thereto.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the first time synchronization signal distributor 140 may select at least one first clock corresponding to a predetermined standard for synchronization among the plurality of clocks through the wireless network. The preset standard may be one of various standard specifications available for time synchronization.

The first time synchronization signal distribution unit 140 may generate the first time synchronization signal including the at least one first clock and the time information so as to conform to the predetermined standard.

For example, the first time synchronizing signal distributor 140 may use time information such as 1 PPS (pulse per second) generated by the processor 120, a clock such as 10 MHz, and a time of day (TOD) The timer can be operated. The first time synchronization signal distribution unit 140 can generate a first time synchronization signal corresponding to the preset standard using the information obtained by operating the timer.

The first time synchronization signal distribution unit 140 may transmit the generated first time synchronization signal to a first device that performs synchronization according to the preset standard. Accordingly, the time synchronizing signal generating apparatus 100 can operate as a master device (e.g., PTP / NTP Grand Master) for the first device.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the second time synchronization signal distribution unit 150 may select a second clock corresponding to a preset frequency for synchronization through the wired network among the plurality of clocks. The second time synchronization signal distribution unit 150 may generate the second time synchronization signal using the second clock.

The third time synchronization signal may be different from the first time synchronization signal and the second time synchronization signal. The third time synchronization signal may be transmitted to a third device that uses the GPS signal as a reference signal for time synchronization.

For example, the third time synchronization signal distributor 160 may perform the operation of distributing the received GPS signal 1: N to transmit to the third device. The third time synchronization signal distribution unit 160 may transmit the distributed GPS signal to the third device. The third device can perform time synchronization using the received GPS signal.

Further, the time synchronization signal generating apparatus 100 may generate all three time synchronization signals, or may selectively generate two time synchronization signals among the three time synchronization signals in accordance with the setting of the user. For example, when the user changes the configuration of the time synchronization signal generating apparatus 100 or changes the setting of the time synchronization signal generating apparatus 100 according to the peripheral network environment or the like, The time synchronization signal generated among various types of time synchronization signals that can be generated through the time synchronization signal can be determined.
