Key Features

Various oscillator options
Pulses per second
2 RS232 interfaces
Status outputs
Antenna connected with up to 300m of standard coaxial cable RG58
DC-insulated antenna circuit

Description

The module GPS162 generates GPS disciplined standard frequencies and pulses per second and is the ideal solution for synchronization tasks therefore. To realize various requirements concerning the accurracy of the frequency outputs, the module GPS162 may be equipped with different master oscillators (see table oscillator list, except Rubidium).
The board provides two RS232 interfaces and status outputs. The compact size of the board GPS162 allows easy integration into the user's application.
