GSync® Model 391
GSync is the 1U compact chassis version of the popular and versatile CommSync II. The heart of the GSync is the GTF (GPS Time and Frequency) module within the unit. It is self-contained with a Quartz or Rubidium oscillator, and a commercial C/A GPS receiver or a military SAASM/M-Code GPS receiver (either a Rockwell-Collins MPE-S GB-GRAM or a Trimble Force 22E MRU).

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
If a system needs a Primary Reference Source (PRS), the GSync provides either Standard Positioning Service (SPS) GPS (the civil C/A signal) or the very latest in GPS military technology – SAASM/M-Code Precision Positioning Service (PPS) GPS receivers (for approved users only). With GPS as the reference source, the GSync provides a frequency accuracy of 1E-12 and a time accuracy of < 50 ns Peak to UTC, for calibrated units.
The GSync is also designed to take external inputs to provide internal frequency synchronization to the accuracy of the external source. There are two choices of disciplined oscillator selection. Depending on holdover requirements, an Ovenized Quartz Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) or a Rubidium Atomic Oscillator can be specified. The GSync can be
populated with up to (4) option modules.
There are a wide variety of output option modules available: Low-Phase Noise sine wave, T1/E1, Time Code, and Network Time Protocol (NTP). The full line of common GSync and CommSync II option modules are shown in the option module listing on our web site.
For Monitor and Control functions there is an RS-232 communication port on the rear panel of the chassis and a standard Ethernet port providing Telnet, SNMP, and Network Time Protocol (NTP), as well as PTPv2 IEEE 1588-2008.
FEI-Zyfer products come with a standard 2 year factory warranty (parts & labor).
