    摘要: The invention refers to a master clock generation unit (100) for satellite navigation systems, comprising:
    - a number of frequency inputs for receiving a respective atomic clock signal each clock signal having a first or a second reference frequency;
    - a number of frequency converters (110, 115, 120, 125) each of the frequency converters having a converter input (111, 116, 121, 126) connected to one of the frequency inputs (102, 104, 106, 108) and a converter output (112, 117, 122, 127) wherein each of the number of frequency converters is applied with an offset frequency by one or a number of frequency synthesizers (140, 145), the offset frequency being selected according to the first and the second reference frequency at the assigned frequency input (102, 104, 106, 108) for providing a same intermediate frequency at each of the converter outputs (112, 117, 122, 127);
    - a switching matrix (130) connected to each of the converter outputs (112, 117, 122, 127) for selecting one of the intermediate frequencies as a primary clock provided at a first matrix output (136) and another of the intermediate frequencies as a secondary clock provided at a second matrix output (135);
    - a frequency generator (150) having an generator input connected to the first matrix output and connected to a number of frequency outputs (202, 204, 206, 208) of the master clock generation unit (100), the frequency generator (150) being adapted for deriving an output reference frequency from the primary clock and providing the output reference frequency at the number of frequency outputs (202, 204, 206, 208); and
    - a phase meter (170) having a first meter input connected to the first matrix output (136) and a second meter input connected to the second matrix output (135) for determining a phase difference between the primary and the secondary clock for detecting abnormal behaviour.
