Who should use a GNSS Disciplined Oscillator?
Precision Timing Use Cases
Quantum and Physics Laboratories
Sub-nanosecond timing in a research or laboratory setting can lead to important research breakthroughs, especially in the quantum field.
Precision Metrology
Because the speed of light is a fundamental constant, precise time measurements lead to ultra-precise distance measurements.
Telecom and Network Operations
Cellular networks and data centers rely on precise timing for synchronization and data protection.
Critical Infrastructure
Power utilities, financial institutions, and transportation systems rely on precise timing for synchronization and navigation.
Security
Precise timestamps can provide authentication and replay protection as well as provide forensic insight to data breaches and hacks.
Navigation
Using satellite navigation, a 1-nanosecond error translates to about 30 centimeters of location error. Accurate timing maintains GNSS data integrity.
FAQs
Please read our FAQs page for more general information.
What's the difference between the SXT and the SXT-D?
The SXT and SXT-D share the same GNSS timing engine and timing accuracy. The difference is the oscillator: the SXT uses a Super-TCXO, while the SXT-D uses a Double-Oven OCXO for significantly better frequency stability and holdover performance during GNSS outages.
What exactly is a GNSS Disciplined Oscillator (GNSSDO)?
A GNSS Disciplined Oscillator (GNSSDO) combines a local precision oscillator with GNSS timing signals to create a highly stable and accurate time and frequency reference. The GNSS receiver continuously corrects the oscillator, providing long-term accuracy while maintaining short-term stability.
What is the difference between a GNSSDO and an atomic clock?
A GNSSDO derives its long-term accuracy from GNSS satellites, while an atomic clock generates its own reference using atomic transitions. A GNSSDO can achieve excellent accuracy and stability at a fraction of the cost, power consumption, and maintenance requirements of traditional atomic clocks.
How accurate are GNSS Disciplined Oscillators?
GNSSDOs can provides better than 5 ns timing precision using multi-frequency GNSS signals. In the case of SparkPNT's SXT and SXT-D, the real magic come with a Fugro AtomiChron® subscription, timing accuracy can be improved to better than 1 ns by sending timing correction data to the device.
Sub-nanosecond timing accuracy means the timing error is less than one billionth of a second relative to a reference timescale.
What is event timestamping?
Event timestamping records the precise time that an external event occurs. The SXT and SXT-D can timestamp events with better than 20 ns accuracy out of the box using the dedicated EventA input.
