An internal reference clock relates the fingerprint to Greenwich mean time.

The pulsar acts as the reference clock at one end of the arm sending out regular signals which are monitored by an observer on the Earth.

The serialized stream is sent along with a reference clock.

The deserializer uses the reference clock to monitor the recovered clock from the bit stream.

Coarse counters base on a reference clock with signals generated at a stable frequency .

For long time intervals, the error due to instabilities in the reference clock (jitter) plays a major role.

Be synchronous - All clocks in the system must align with a reference clock.

Left alone, the wall clock will continue to diverge from the reference clock at the same few seconds per hour rate.

A reference clock may refer to the following:

The stratum level defines its distance from the reference clock and exists to prevent cyclical dependencies in the hierarchy.
