This system integrates time, frequency, and polarization synchronization into a single optical carrier for satellite Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). By decoupling synchronization from the quantum signal, it maximizes secure key rates and network throughput without introducing security vulnerabilities. The solution effectively manages dynamic space-based challenges like Doppler shifts and polarization transformation to ensure robust link stability.
