Description

Fully redundant, turn-key Frequency & Time Generation and Distribution System with unmatched precision

The F&T system comprises of two redundant signal generation and distribution subsystems.

It can house Rubidium or Cesium clocks within the same rack or can alternatively integrate external active Hydrogen maser signals.

If necessary, the F&T signals can be transmitted to multiple remote locations either via phase-stable coaxial cables or via actively stabilized fiber optic links delivering femtosecond-level stability.

Additionally, the system includes redundant GNSS receivers with UTC tracking and referencing, high-resolution time interval counters for precise 1PPS measurements, and phase meters for detailed phase and frequency analysis, enabling real-time performance monitoring.
