Bus-Level Timing

Spectracom's TSync, TPRO and TSAT timing cards easily integrate into PCs and Servers (PCI and PCI express) and instrument and other interfaces (VME, PMC, PC104, IP) to offer precise timing and synchronization for embedded systems. Drivers are available for popular interfaces.

GPS Time & Frequency References

The function of time & frequency references is to keep devices and systems and secondary clocks running consistently and on-time to improve performance. A Spectracom time & frequency reference offers the additional advantage of accuracy and traceability to national and international standards by using GPS and other precision time sources.

Network Time Servers

For over three decades, Spectracom has been a leader in providing Legally Traceable Time® solutions to meet the needs of the most vital time synchronization applications. The latest 9300 series NetClock® network time servers deliver worldwide, split-second timing to mission critical systems, providing the highest levels of security, ease of management, and reliability.

PTP IEEE-1588 Products

Precision Time Protocol is a new network standard for high accuracy clock synchronization over IP networks. Spectracom fully supports the implementation of PTP (IEEE-1588v2) for installations and enterprises that need microsecond accuracy for networks and devices.

Time and Frequency Distribution

Spectracom offers distribution amplifiers with source fault-detection and failover switches for 10 MHz, 1 PPS, T1/E1, and IRIG and other time codes. Also available are signal converters for 10 MHz to T1 (DS1) and E1 signals.

Timing Modules

For developers of transmitters and other devices that require built-in GPS synchronization signals, Spectracom offers two styles of easy-to-integrate solutions. The Epsilon Board™ OEM, EB03, is a board-level component solution for time and frequency synchronization. The Epsilon GPS Clock, model EC1S, includes a small metal case.

Synchronized Clocks & Time Displays

Three types of display clocks are available depending on your application. All utilize a NetClock network time server as the system's master clock.

Frequency Analyzers/Counters

Pendulum Instruments are well-known as industry-leading time and frequency counters and analyzers. The products are characterized by ultra-high speed and resolution with advanced graphics, zero dead-time, Allan deviation measurement, modulation domain analysis and overall the highest-performance frequency measuring instruments.

Frequency Standards

Pendulum frequency standards are used for calibration and master clock synchronization of communications devices and systems. They achieve the highest precision and reliability typically referenced to GPS.

Frequency Distribution

Frequency distribution amplifiers leverage the installation of a precise time and frequency reference so those signals can be used throughout a system or facility. Models are available for fiber optic or coax transmission and distribution of signals to multiple locations with flexible configurations with or without redundancy.

GPS Simulators

GPS Simulators and GPS Signal Generators are designed for high throughput production and manufacturing testing of GPS receivers and other GPS appliances and devices.

Spectracom has launched the Pendulum GSG-55 16-channel GPS simulator - a new member in the GSG-family of GPS constellation simulators.

Microwave Antenna Alignment

The Path Align-R™, models 2200 and 2240 test set, is a high performance, affordable and complete test solution designed to quickly and accurately optimize the transmission path between two microwave antennas within minutes.

Synchronization Tester/Analyzer

The Pendulum STA-61 marks a new generation of instruments allowing the user to test and analyze sync in various types of networks. Where traditional instruments on the market are designed specifically for SDH/SONET or are dedicated SyncE or PTP testers, the STA-61 can do it all.
