The Microsemi XL-GPS Time and Frequency Receiver is a high performance GPS based instrument that generates precise time and frequency signals referenced to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This networked managed instrument is an excellent solution for test and measurement, central timing systems, process automation, range timing and power industry applications.
The XL-GPS Microsemi Time and Frequency Receiver may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
Functions
Receives GPS satellite signals to generate precise time and frequency references for network synchronization applications. Provides multiple output formats including 10 MHz frequency standards, 1 PPS timing pulses, and RS-232/Ethernet interfaces for time distribution. Features disciplined oscillator technology to maintain accuracy during GPS signal interruptions. Supports IRIG-B time code output and SNMP management protocols. Operates in 1U rackmount configuration with 100-240VAC power input for telecommunications, broadcast, and instrumentation systems requiring sub-microsecond timing accuracy.
Platforms
The XL-GPS is a precision time and frequency receiver designed for network synchronization applications requiring high accuracy. It operates as a standalone 1U rackmount timing device that receives Global Positioning System signals to deliver traceable timing references. The system interfaces with network infrastructure through multiple timing outputs including IRIG-B, 1PPS, and frequency signals. Common applications include telecommunications network synchronization, power grid timing, military communications systems, financial transaction timestamping, and broadcast timing reference generation. The unit is designed for continuous operation in telecom central offices, data centers, or other controlled environments requiring precise timing distribution.
Applications
Provides precision time and frequency reference by receiving GPS satellite signals for synchronization of telecommunications networks, data centers, and test equipment. Operates as a stratum 1 time source delivering highly accurate timing signals with nanosecond-level precision. Commonly deployed in cellular base stations, broadcast facilities, financial trading systems, and scientific research applications requiring precise timestamping. Enables network synchronization protocols including NTP, PTP/IEEE-1588, and IRIG-B time codes. Supports frequency reference outputs for calibrating oscillators and maintaining holdover stability during GPS signal loss. Essential for applications demanding strict timing accuracy such as 5G networks, power grid synchronization, and distributed database systems.
