GPSGEN1575/MP: GPS signal converter/diplexer (4-port)
Module for reconverting the Meinberg intermediate frequency to the original GPS frequency.
Key Features
- Reconversion of the Meinberg GPS Antenna signal (35.42MHz) into GPS frequency (1575MHz)
- Pulse per second
- 2 RS232 interfaces
- Status output
- Antenna connected with up to 300m of standard coaxial cable RG58
- Remote control and monitoring with included PC-software (COM0)
Description
The module GPSGEN1575/MP has been designed to reconvert the intermediate frequency of 35.42MHz transmitted on
the antenna cable of Meinberg GPS clocks to the GPS frequency of 1575.42MHz. This technology allows the connection
of GPS receivers of other manufacturers working without IF-technique to a Meinberg antenna with up to 300m of coaxial
cable RG58 (or even up to 700m with RG213) without the need of an additional amplifier. Besides the signal
conditioning, the module includes a complete GPS receiver, which can be used as a reference in test applications.
