A step to the decentralized real-time timekeeping network

The composite time scale(CTS)provides an accurate and stable time-frequency reference for modern science and technology.Conventional CTS always features a centralized network topology,which means that the CTS is accompanied by a local master clock.This largely restricts the stability and reliability of the CTS.We simulate the restriction and analyze the influence of the master clock on the CTS.It proves that the CTS's long-term stability is also positively related to that of the master clock,until the region dominated by the frequency drift of the H-maser(averaging time longer than~105 s).Aiming at this restriction,a real-time clock network is utilized.Based on the network,a real-time CTS referenced by a stable remote master clock is achieved.The experiment comparing two real-time CTSs referenced by a local and a remote master clock respectively reveals that under open-loop steering,the stability of the CTS is improved by referencing to a remote and more stable master clock instead of a local and less stable master clock.In this way,with the help of the proposed scheme,the CTS can be referenced to the most stable master clock within the network in real time,no matter whether it is local or remote,making democratic polycentric timekeeping possible.
