The ICE-GPS is a GPS-driven, mixed-signal phase-lock loop, providing a 1 PPS output, an IRIG-B output, and generating a 10MHz sine output from an extremely low jitter voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO). The 10MHz output is disciplined from an onboard GPS receiver, which drives the long-term frequency stability. The onboard GPS receiver at the core of the ICE-GPS is the Conner Winfield CW25 timing receiver.

GPS Timing Reference Module

The ICE-GPS is a GPS-driven, mixed-signal phase-lock loop, providing a 1 PPS output, an IRIG-B output, and generating a 10MHz sine output from an extremely low jitter voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO). The 10MHz output is disciplined from an onboard GPS receiver, which drives the long-term frequency stability. The onboard GPS receiver at the core of the ICE-GPS is the Conner Winfield CW25 timing receiver.

The board is formatted as an ICE I/O module for use with the ICE-PIC8, ICE-POD, ICE-PAC, or ICE-TRAY. The antenna input is available on an SMA connector and will operate an active antenna at 5V. The 10MHz is available on an SMA connector, while 1PPS and IRIG-B are available on SMB connectors, each able to drive four 50 ohm loads.

The ICE-GPS communicates to the host computer through the base ICE card using C-callable library functions. These calls allow access to all NMEA/TSIP protocol information made available by the CW25 module. The user can observe the status of the unit, time of day, position, and current satellite quality/configuration information via either of the two protocols.

Features

  • Stratum 1 time source
  • G.811-compliant
  • Phase-locked 10MHZ output
  • Low 10MHz phase noise (-76db@10Hz, -100dB@100Hz, -126dB@250Hz)
  • Precision 1PPS output locked to 10MHz
  • Commercial temperature (0-70C)
  • SMA connector for GPS antenna input and 10MHZ clock output
  • SMB connectors for 1PPS and IRIG-B outputs
  • Single-site module for use with ICE-PIC8 series cards and ICE-TRAY systems

Applications

  • Precision time and frequency reference
