Description

MTGEN is a reference time generator providing 1PPS, IRIG, and NTP outputs.

It derives a local time base from an atomic frequency standard (10MHz or 100MHz) and includes a multi-constellation GNSS receiver for UTC tracking and referencing.
The IRIG signal is phase-aligned with the generated 1PPS, ensuring consistent time correlation across outputs. Each 1PPS output can be individually delay-adjusted to meet specific synchronization needs.
MTGEN includes high-resolution time interval counter enabling real-time 1PPS measurements. Additionally, it supports optical time code and 1PPS transmission, allowing the local time to be distributed to remote users via fiber optic links.
