The time-frequency signal transmission includes the master time-frequency signal transmission unit, the optical transmission unit, the optical reception unit, and the slave time-frequency signal transmission unit;

[0018] The processing process of the time-frequency signal transmission unit after receiving the 10 MHz frequency signal is as follows:

[0019] After the slave time-frequency signal transmission unit receives the 10 MHz frequency signal, it is transmitted in reverse to the master time-frequency signal transmission unit by the same optical fiber link in a partial decimation manner and then denoted as
