Potential Future Hardware Solutions[edit]
|
|
Core Hardware |
Objective
|
| #1
|
TDC
|
Small, cheap, and low power use-case
|
| #2
|
PTM controller
|
A PCIe based daughter card that can be synchronized with a high stability source (Time Card) over PCIe to scale PPS measurements
|
| #3
|
UWB
|
A method for distributing GPS and time to areas where measurements are made, but GPS is not available
|
| #4
|
DPLL
|
A discrete design based around a DPLL , removing the need for an FPGA
