Multi-GNSS Disciplined Oscillator Model GF-8704 Old Products (available)

OCXO equipped High sensitivity Multi-GNSS Disciplined Oscillator which has expanded capabilities, more accurate holdover function and low phase noise

GF-8704 outputs 1PPS synchronized with UTC as well as 10MHz coherent to 1PPS.
GF-8704 can receive concurrent GPS, GLONASS, QZSS (Quasi-Zenith Satellite System) and SBAS signals.

>> New Product:GF-8805 (Extremely high stability of 4.5ns (1sigma) using a single band receiver)

Timing

Features

  • Generates UTC-synchronized 1PPS (pulse per second) and continuously disciplined 10 MHz

    ・Reduces errors in digital communication by providing highly accurate and stable frequency
  • Coherent behavior between time pulse (jitter less 1PPS) and frequency (10 MHz)

  • Built-in high-sensitivity timing Multi-GNSS receiver with improved noise tolerance for harsh environments

    ・Receives concurrent GPS, GLONASS, QZSS (Quasi-Zenith Satellite System) and SBAS signals
    ・Flexible antenna installation locations thanks to high sensitivity and twice the number of satellites in view as opposed to GPS-only positioning
    ・Reduces effects of internal and external noise thanks to Active Anti-Jamming and Advanced Multipath Mitigation
  • Supports world's best-in-class holdover function

    ・Even if GNSS falls into unlock, the FURUNO GNSSDO will predict oscillator behavior and automatically make corrections thanks to FURUNO's Advanced Oscillator Control Function
    ・Continuously outputs highly accurate and stable 1PPS and frequency
    ・Achieved superior cost/performance as a atomic oscillator replacement
  • Support compatible design depending on customer's requirement

    Supports the same output format as well as pin-compatible design (GF-8704, GF-8705)
    ・GNSSDO can be customized to meet unique customer requirements
