Palm-sized portable time and frequency reference signal generator
FURUNO ELECTRIC CO., LTD. (headquartered in Nishinomiya, Japan) has released Field Time Sync Generator "TB-1". It is a portable GNSS reference signal generator which provides a 1PPS and a 10MHz reference frequency for the development and operation of wireless communication equipment, greatly facilitating high-precision synchronization delay measurements at 5G base stations and frequency measurements at digital broadcasting stations.
Field Time Sync Generator "TB-1"
Outline
- Enables measurements in various fields and facilitates the development of wireless communication equipment.
- Highly accurate, reliable, fast, and portable.
- Enables more accurate measurements in combination with user's measuring devices.
- Equipped with Furuno’s Multi-GNSS Timing Module GT-88* which enables countermeasures against strong multipath in urban area.
*The GT-88 incorporates the Dynamic Satellite Selection (trademark), an advanced multipath mitigation algorithm developed by NTT.
Usage examples
- Synchronization delay measurements at 4G / 5G base stations.
- Frequency measurements at terrestrial digital broadcasting stations.
- Frequency and time delay measurements in V2X (Vehicle-to-vehicle / road-to-vehicle communication) systems on moving vehicles.
- Research and development of wireless communication equipment in laboratories.
The TB-1 dramatically improves the efficiency of field work. It is no longer necessary to carry large, heavy and expensive atomic oscillators for these measurements.
