PTS - Time and Frequency Standard0 pages

PTS
Network Ready Precision Time System

PTS shown with C/A code and SA-ASM GPS in rack mount case

• GPS Disciplined Atomic Clock
• Full Remote Network Control Using Standard Web
Browser
• Optional SA-ASM GPS Receiver
• Timing Accuracy <40ns rms to UTC

The PTS is a state of the art frequency instrument offering a wide range of features and time and frequency
outputs accurate to <40ns rms to UTC(USNO) and 1x1012 respectively.
This new generation of network appliance is economical
and reliable and offers complete remote control and
monitoring via a web-browser based interface.
The PTS can be used in either a single or dual redundant configuration and in conjunction with one of Brandywine Communications range of Distribution Amplifiers, such as the FTSU-100.
Applications for the popular PTS include central time
and frequency systems, satellite earth stations, military
communication systems, and high availability network
time servers.
An extremely accurate internal Rubidium oscillator is
used as the internal time base that drives all the time
and frequency outputs. This Rubidium oscillator is disciplined using an advanced control algorithm, ensuring
superior holdover performance. The time constants of
this algorithm are user-adjustable to suit specific applications.

NTP Network Time Server
Dual redundant system in 19 Inch rack mount
Low Cost
10MHz, 1PPS, IRIG B, serial and BCD time code outputs

The PTS is available both with standard C/A code and optional P(Y) code SA-ASM GPS receiver. It may also be disciplined to an external 1PPS/HaveQuick time code source.
A 10baseT Ethernet port is provided which is used both for
monitoring and control of the instrument and for Network
Time Protocol. This interface supports both fixed and dynamic IP address assignment via DHCP.
In addition to configuring the PTS, the built-in web browser
provides information on GPS, internal monitoring of time errors, and internal parameters of the atomic oscillator. The
user may set thresholds of any monitored parameter to trigger an alarm.
A precision 1PPS time mark is available for synchronizing or
calibrating other equipment and the IRIG B serial time code
allows synchronization to be distributed to other computers,
displays and related equipment requiring precise time.
An ASCII serial port outputs any user-selected time of day
message at a 1/sec rate for synchronizing other equipment.
The same output port may also be configured to output 50
bit/sec BCD time code in accordance with ICD-GPS-060.
A high stability 10MHz sine wave output provides an ultrastable, low phase noise frequency reference derived from an
SC cut crystal that is locked to the rubidium reference.
