Pręcis Ce OEM Time and Frequency Engine
"Indirect GPS" eliminates the rooftop antenna
OEM Time and Frequency Engine
The Pręcis Ce can replace a GPS time receiver in many applications.  This OEM board provides a 1 PPS signal which is synchronized to UTC at the 10-microsecond level of accuracy, an ASCII time-of-day message over the RS-232 serial I/O port, and an optional 10 MPPS signal which is locked to the frequency of UTC to parts in 10 to the 12th.  Features include:
  • No rooftop antenna required.
  • Highly stable, comparable to direct GPS.
  • Better than 1x10-11 long-term frequency accuracy.
  • 1 PPS output.
  • RS-232 serial port with ASCII time-of-day output.
  • Optional 10 MPPS output with TCXO/OCXO.
  • Optional CDMA Preamplifier for poor signal environments.
  • One-year warranty and free software upgrades for life.
  • Small size, low power.
The Antenna Advantage
All GPS-based time & frequency standards require an antenna that must be installed with good sky visibility.  Obtaining rooftop access can be extremely difficult and cost prohibitive.  This is often one of the largest problems facing synchronization equipment users. The Pręcis Ce eliminates this problem by using an "indirect" form of GPS, where the CDMA wireless communications base stations effectively act as GPS repeaters.  Pręcis Ce can receive signals broadcast from these CDMA base stations inside buildings using a small cellular antenna.  This module then uses these signals to synchronize its time and frequency to within 10 microseconds of UTC.  You benefit by not having to install a rooftop antenna and still having a timing reference that is as stable as with GPS.
