Abstract

LOFAR is currently the largest radio telescope operating at the lowest frequencies that can be observed from earth. It is a distributed telescope with a dense core of stations located in the north of the Netherlands combined with international stations across Europe, creating a telescope the size of Western Europe. LOFAR is currently being upgraded to LOFAR2.0. We present an overview of the validation of the new timing distribution system, showing the improvements in timing stability for the upgraded LOFAR2.0.
