Demystifying 5G – Clock input monitoring, holdover and relocking in 5G base stations
The video demonstrates an IDT clock generator and shows the measurement of phase transient during a locked-holdover-relocking-locked cycle. A clock signal with a defined phase noise profile is used to emulate the effect of a real-world clock with a non-ideal phase noise performance. Clock input monitoring and a corresponding holdover mechanism in case of a loss of the external clock signal are key
