R&S®GPS129 GPS Receiver

GPS receiver with reference frequency generator

Overview

The R&S® GPS129 consists of a GPS receiver and a satellite-controlled clock together with a power supply unit, all installed in a metal 19" rackmount and ready to operate. It is available with AC or DC power supply. The interfaces and input/output signals provided by the R&S® GPS129 are accessible via connectors on the rear panel.

The global positioning system (GPS) is a satellite-based radio positioning, navigation, and time transfer system. GPS is based on accurately measuring the propagation time of signals transmitted from satellites to the receiver.

The R&S® GPS129 has been developed for applications where conventional radio-controlled clocks cannot meet the growing precision requirements. High precision available 24 hours a day around the world is the main feature of this unit which receives its information from the satellites of the global positioning system.
