Low Cost GPS Solution for Synchronization and Retiming Telecommunications Networks
Symmetricom's TimeGPS is a GPS controlled frequency source. The system offers a low cost GPS solution for synchronization and retiming telecommunications networks. The TimeGPS receives GPS satellite signals to control an onboard oscillator and provide three output signals.
The TimeGPS consists of the following main functional modules:
- 12-channel single-satellite-locking GPS engine
- Micro-controller including memory and peripherals
- Crystal oscillator
- Phase measurement, frequency control and signal generation
- Retiming circuitries (order option)
The TimeGPS features a monitoring system indicating the system status via LEDs, alarm relays and RS 232 interface. The unit provides two RS 232 interfaces so that remote and local management activities can be performed independently.
A separate frequency output port without squelch function at the front panel allows frequency verification testing. It can also be configured as an output for clock distribution.
The TimeGPS provides a number of configuration features allowing the user to integrate the equipment into their specific application environment. The user can set specific events (e.g. certain failures, GPS timeouts, etc.) to minor or major alarm levels. Additionally, the user can squelch the outputs if such an event occurs. The unit comes with Windows-based craft software for configuration and installation.
The primary application of the TimeGPS is as a frequency source for telecommunication networks. It is an ideal solution for synchronization of wireless base stations and node Bs.
