Abstract
A sensor system may comprise a sensor, an oscillator, a receiver, a processor, and a data interface. The sensor may be configured to detect an environmental condition and produce a sensor signal in response. The receiver may receive a signal comprising a time reference having a first frequency. The oscillator may be configured to produce a precision time reference signal having a second frequency that is higher than the first frequency. The processor may be configured to generate a time stamp using a combination of the time reference and the precision time reference signal and package data from the sensor signal with the time stamp. The data interface may be configured to transmit the packaged data over a network.
