50-Channel GPS Reference Clock Serves SatCom, Defense and Wireless Applications

January 3, 2017

TRAK Microwave, a microwave brand of Smiths Interconnect, has added a GPS time and frequency clock to its product offerings. The 8835 GPS clock offers extreme power and interoperability options, while maintaining industry-leading GPS accuracy and reliability.

While tracking GPS, the clock exhibits a frequency accuracy of <1x10-12 and a 1 pps accuracy with <50 ns RMS. The proprietary oscillator steering discipline algorithm can enhance the RMS accuracy of either the double oven crystal oscillator or, for greater accuracy, an optional enhanced rubidium oscillator.

To increase interoperability, the 8835’s 10/100 base-T Ethernet interface works with a range of network protocols, including NTP, SNMP, Telnet, SSH and FTP for status and control. The unit can also accept a variety of power sources including 24 or 48 VDC or 100-240 VAC with an external AC/DC converter.

Suited to defense, SatCom and wireless applications, this compact and configurable device operates from −30°C to +60°C with a TNC GPS receiver port.
