Table 2 Quantitative comparative analysis of recent synchronization Methods.
Feature | Dual Sampler Synchronization | HTB Device (Tankeliun et al.) | Hardware-Efficient L-DACS1 | Dual-Edge Sampler | IEEE 1588 Network Sync |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Synchronization Accuracy | ~ 2–5 ps (statistical) | < 0.5 ps (phase-locked) | STO < 0.1 sample, CFO < 0.001 | < 5 ps | < 1 µs (typical), < 100 ns (best) |
Jitter Reduction | Corrects ± 5 ps | > 2× reduction (to ~ 1.2 ps) | Robust at SNR > 8 dB | N/A | N/A |
Drift Elimination | Software correction | < 0.1 ps/hour | N/A | N/A | N/A |
Power Consumption | Minimal (software) | Standard oscilloscope | < 1 mW (FPGA) | Standard | Networked hardware |
Implementation Complexity | Low | High | Very Low | Medium | High |
Hardware Requirements | None/minimal | Custom, precise | FPGA | Custom logic | Networked clocks |
