Technology has moved well beyond split-second coordination of critical functions. Today’s digital world activity is calibrated to the millionth or billionth of a second, which can make timing and synchronization a real adventure for DTV engineers.
German manufacturer R.A.M. Gmbh draws on 15 years of expertise to produce a precision timing generator for DTV transmission feeds measured in nanoseconds. It provides economical atomic timing standard accuracy for television, cable TV and satellite operators. The Taref series of precision timing generators are engineered to seamlessly coordinate digital TV bit streams and transmissions, single frequency transmitter systems, multiplexer systems, telecommunication networks and measurement equipment.
RAM Taref30 Precision Timing Generator
The slender, 19-inch-long rack-mounted instrument features four LED monitoring lights on the front so technicians can tell at a glance when the clock is locked on a GPS satellite. From incoming data, operators can quickly determine how many satellites are visible to the clock, the number being tracked and the longitude, latitude and height of each, as well as the coordinated universal time. With a GPS system, the accuracy of the precision timing generator is better than 5 * 10 -11.
The Taref30™ features an ultra high precision double oscillator that replaces rubidium references easily.
The Taref30™ precision timing generator offers multiple output frequency options, including 10 MHz, 1.544 MHz, 2.048 MHz and custom selections. Precise one second pulses locked to UTC are standard. Phase noise levels during operation are extraordinarily low.
The device may be controlled by a PC through a USB port. It can be provisioned as a redundant system and offers multiple output capabilities. Universal power inputs include 12 VDC, 48 VDC, 115 and 220 VAC at 50/60 Hz.
