GPS-Disciplined Frequency Standard

Suntsu Frequency Control, Inc. offers the SGPS2 series GPS- disciplined frequency and time standard. Combining a Furuno 16-channel GPS receiver and Suntsu’s own oven controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) technology in a 2 x 2 x 1.25 inches (50.8 x 50.8 x 31.75 millimeters) package, the entire unit is mountable on printed circuit boards with a micro-miniature connector (MMCX) antenna connection on the side. The OCXO frequency is disciplined with timing signals from GPS satellites to maintain frequency accuracy to <1×10-12 in 24 hours.

Indoor GPS Re-radiating Kit

The HNRRKIT is a complete re-radiating system from GPS Networking that enables users to re-transmit the GPS L1 carrier signal indoors. The kit includes a roof antenna (38db Gain, 50 ohm), plug-in re-radiating amplifier, and re-radiating antenna. The re-radiating amplifier has a 110V/220V/240V plug-in transformer that powers the amplifier and the roof antenna. If a HNRRKIT user’s GPS receiver has line of sight with the re-radiating antenna, it will receive the signal up to 100 feet away, according to the company.
