Frequency and Time

The SyncServer® S650 uses Microchip's FlexPort technology to provide unmatched synchronization flexibility and performance. The GNSS-referenced S650 is easily adaptable for modern instrumentation systems and networks that require best-in-class synchronization performance for a wide range of applications.

Our BlueSky® GNSS Firewall protects deployed GNSS systems by providing a cost-effective overlay solution installed between existing GNSS antennas and GNSS systems. The BlueSky GNSS Firewall protects systems inside the firewall from untrusted sky-based signals outside the firewall.

Our rack mount time and frequency distribution units deliver precision reference signals to multiple equipment stations without degrading the signal or creating crosstalk. When used with our GPS receivers, frequency standards and oscillators, our time and frequency units effectively distribute signals and generate rates required by communication systems, satellite earth stations, test facilities and engineering laboratories.

Timing accessories includes antenna cables, line amplifiers, filters and lightning arrestors, and time and frequency boards. These accessories are designed to support the GNSS requirements of your communication network. We can also help you select the accessories that will best serve your specific needs.

The 5071B primary time and frequency standard is a replacement for the 5071A that matches the form, fit and functions of its predecessor. All connections and commands remain unchanged. We updated the 5071B’s internal electronics with modern circuitry, including our microprocessors (MPUs), to ensure continuity of supply for all components into the next decade and achieve RoHS compliance. We tested the 5071B over 18 months against an extensive set of qualifications to confirm that this device meets or exceeds all performance specifications.

Timing modules provides unparalleled precise time and frequency functions to the host computer and peripheral data acquisition systems. Each timing module has a 100 ns clock and a 10 MHz disciplined Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO). The bus cards in these timing modules also have an external oscillator, such as a 5071 cesium clock or a rubidium frequency standard, that provides the frequency input for the card. This creates an extremely stable PCIe/PCI-based clock for all timing functions. If the input reference is unavailable, the module will continue to maintain time (flywheel) based on the drift rate of the 10 MHz oscillator.
