Frequency receiver

Symmetricom has announced the XL-GPS time and frequency receiver that provides accurate time and frequency signals and a global positioning system to support many applications including test and measurement, data acquisition, central timing systems, process automation and range timing.

The device is a rackmount instrument with an internal, time-optimised GPS satellite receiver that locks to signals from the satellite atomic clocks. The device provides a variety of signal outputs accurately synchronised to coordinated universal time with the long-term stability of an atomic clock.

It is a versatile, 1U instrument with user-configurable inputs and outputs to suit application requirements. Signal outputs include a 1 pulse-per-second, IRIG-B time code and rate outputs to 10 MPPS.

Management and control is facilitated with a network interface. An optional expansion module provides additional outputs.
