• GNSS for Time Sync
Multi-GNSS Disciplined Oscillator

Model GF-8701
  • Old Products

TCXO equipped High sensitivity Multi-GNSS Disciplined Oscillator which achieves the world's best-in-class small size and low price.

GF-8701 outputs 1PPS synchronized with UTC as well as 10MHz coherent to 1PPS.
GF-8701 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)

  • GNSS (Timing, Automotive/Industrial)

Features

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

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

Support compatible design depending on customer's requirement

Supports the same output format as well as pin-compatible design (GF-8701, GF-8702, GF-8703)
