- GNSS for Time Sync
Model GF-8804/05
24-hour holdover performance comparable to Rubidium
GF-88 series is a full-featured multi-GNSS disciplined oscillator (GNSSDO), embedded with multi-GNSS receiver, OCXO, LDO regulator and antenna detection circuit in a compact pin-header module.
It provides outputs of one-second pulse, synchronized with Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and reference frequency (10MHz) signal.
GF-8805, equipped with a high quality OCXO, has a frequency stability equivalent to that of an atomic oscillator of 1.5 μs / 24 hours, not only during reception of GNSS signals, but also during holdover when GNSS falls into unlock. Another module called GF-8804 shares the same form factor with excellent cost performance. It is recommended either model based on designers request could save significant time and effort during product design.
New product: High robustness with dual frequency band reception of L1 and L5. The GT-100 can also deliver programmable frequency clock outputs.

Features
Generates UTC-synchronized 1PPS (pulse per second) and continuously disciplined 10 MHz
One-module combining a GNSS receiver, crystal oscillator and peripheral circuits that dramatically reduces design cycle (time-to-market) of wireless system.
Extremely high stability of 4.5ns (1sigma) using a single band receiver compliant with G.8272 PRTC-A, PRTC-B
FURUNO technology made it possible to achieve 5G performance with 4.5ns (1 sigma) stability by single band receiver. GF-8804 and GF-8805 are both compliant with G.8272 PRTC-B. This is achieved by an improved and advanced position estimation algorithm. It optimizes position calculations using several different GNSS satellite constellations. It allows users to achieve 5G-required performance without changing existing single band GNSS antennas.
Suitable for various RF・Broadcasting applications. Designed functions aiming to solve usual troubles on site.
The number of radio stations applied with GNSS time synchronization, ex. PMR, local 5G, and V2X, has been increasing year by year. Especially in urban area, users have to face problems such as urban canyon (signals blocked) and multi-path (signals reflected) etc.
GF-88 series have embedded solutions against;
- Multipath in Urban area
- Jamming (interference wave)
- Spoofing
- Interruption of GNSS signal (holdover)
In addtion, as a longterm supplier of major mobile base venders, Furuno keeps the same carrier grade quality on GF series as well.
1.GNSS antennas can be mounted on walls and windows of tall buildings
The Dynamic Satellite Selection™* minimizes deterioration of time synchronization performance by choosing only the high quality satellite signals
- a new satellite signal selection algorithm developed by NTT
- GF-880x : GT-88 + OCXO/TCXO
2.Jamming (interference wave)
If GNSS receiver is interfered by jamming signals, it can mitigate the negative impact and prevent GNSS signal loss or failure. It also helps investigate the source by detecting and monitoring frequency and power level from the jamming signals.
3.Spoofing
Malicious spoofing signals intentionally mislead the position and timing calculation of the GNSS receiver. Therefore it is designed to detect and cancel such effects and protect the system from spoofing attack.
4.Interruption of GNSS signal (holdover)
Even if the receiving satellites are all lost due to antenna failure, jamming, signal interruption, the timing function keeps working for a holdover period of time.
- In case GNSS positioning is interrupted, it predicts and corrects oscillator performance through exclusive adjusting technology.
- Excellent cost performance as replacement for atomic oscillator.
A lineup of 2 holdover-highlighted models of "Grande" form factor.
GF-8804, GF-8805 have same pin assignment and output as GF-8801~03. They are designed for applications that request different holdover ability.
For size oriented users, GF-8801, GF-8802, GF-8803 are also available as small, low-profile model (i.e. Short form factor).
