Abstract In the scope of FAIR's scientific program higher beam intensities will be achieved and several new synchrotrons (including storage rings) are being built. The low-level RF (LLRF) systems of FAIR have to support multi-harmonic operations, barrier bucket generation and bunch compression in order to meet the desired beam quality requirements. All this imposes several requirements on the LLRF systems. For example the phase error of the gap voltage of a specific RF cavity must be less than 3 degrees. Thus, each individual component must have a better accuracy. The RF reference signals for the FAIR synchrotron RF cavity systems are generated by direct digital synthesis (DDS). Four so-called Group DDS modules are mounted in one crate. In the supply rooms, the reference signals of such a crate are then distributed to local cavity LLRF systems. Therefore, the precise phase calibration of Group DDS modules is of importance. A phase calibration method with respect to the absolute phases of DDS modules defined by means of the FAIR Bunch Phase Timing System (BuTiS) is developed, and its precision is under evaluation.
