Abstract: Let $ k$ be a global function field over the finite field $ \mathbb{F}_{q}$ with a fixed place $ \infty $ of degree 1. Let $ K$ be a cyclic extension of degree dividing $ q-1$, in which $ \infty $ is totally ramified. For a certain abelian extension $ L$ of $ k$ containing $ K$, there are two notions of the group of cyclotomic units arising from sign normalized rank 1 Drinfeld modules on $ k$ and on $ K$. In this article we compare these two groups of cyclotomic units.
