10 Channel Pulse Distribution Amplifier PPS distribution

Software Defined Radio Synchronization


Ten channel, low noise frequency reference distribution amplifier.  Ten identical amplifiers feature skew of ˜5 ns.  Each channel independently monitored for load impedance mis-match with independent warning indicators on the front panel.  Outputs are transient and short circuit protected. Synchronize multi-channel software defined radio systems.


  • <25ns propagation delay

  • skewing between channels typically < 5 ns

  • 3 volts p-p into 50 Ohms, 6 volt p-p into 1kohm

  • low impedance drive option provides in excess of 100 ma source current- ideal for 50 ohm loads.

  • rise and fall times < 25 ns

  • local adjustment available allows ~+-0.2 volt to compensate for local system needs

  • front panel indicators Signal Hi, Low helps prevent overdrive and system troubleshooting

  • fault status for each channel

  • fault and transient protected

  • self-test indicator and signals for remote monitoring

  • IRIG Time Code application

  • PPS distribution to synchronize Sofware Defined Radios (SDR)
