GPS equipment

The GPS-12R Portable Frequency Standard offers traceable Cesium-like stability at a very attractive price. Synchronized to the GPS satellite system, the GPS-12R provides both short and long-term time and frequency stability. The GPS-12RG Portable Reference clock is a GLONASS and GPS-disciplined Rubidium reference, targeted for both laboratory and telecommunications applications.

The GPS-12R frequency standard offers traceable Cesium-like stability at a very attractive price. Synchronized to the GPS satellite system, the GPS-12R provides both short and long–term time and frequency stability, assuring precision and accuracy.

Standard configuration includes three front-panel outputs: two switchable 1.544 MHz (T1) or 2.048 MHz (E1) outputs; and 1-pps time reference. The ultra-stable, built-in Rubidium atomic clock oscillator offers excellent frequency and time stability, whether in GPS-disciplined mode, or in hold-over mode. Configurable alarming provides easy to read urgent and not-urgent alarms for loss of GPS, loss of antenna connection, hardware failures, and more. User settings and display are selectable for six languages.

Where AC Mains voltage is not available, the internal battery operation provides oscillator stability during transportation or in field applications. This feature is ideal for telecommunications requirements such as SDH/PDH/SONET Analyzers, wireless base stations, or public utility field applications where lightweight portability with zero warm-up time and full stability is essential.
