TiFOON FPGA-based signal processing platform

This digital signal processing platform has been developed within the EMPIR project 18SIB056 TiFOON, “Advanced time/frequency comparison and dissemination through optical telecommunication networks”, with the aim of enhancing the reliability and performance of optical frequency transfer over fibre. It is based on the NI sbRIO-9651 system-on-module and provides an easily programmable and reconfigurable solution offering up to 100 kHz tracking bandwidth.  

The open-source design presented here consists of a custom AD/DA converter board and a custom carrier board. The sbRIO-9651 module itself is commercially available from NI.
