Glossary
Symbols/Numerics
10 MHz —
10 Megahertz timing reference. The TEM Module provides one 10 MHz
input connectors and one 10 MHz output connector.
1 PPS —
1 Pulse Per Second timing reference. The TEM Module provides two 1 PPS
input connectors and one 1 PPS output connector.
802.11b —
IEEE standard for wireless LANs. You can establish wireless LAN connec-
tions to the T-BERD ⁄ MTS 8000, 6000A, and 5800 using an 802.11 PCMCIA card.
A
AC —
Alternating Current. An AC power adapter is supplied with the T-BERD ⁄ MTS
5800v2 test instrument.
Almanac —
Information concerning the time, status, and location of every satellite
within a GNSS satellite constellation.
Antenna Time Bias —
A value (specified in nanoseconds), that is used to compen-
sate for the delay introduced by your antenna, the antenna’s cable, and if applicable,
an in-line splitter or amplifier.
Assembly —
Used throughout this manual to refer to a complete set of components
assembled as an instrument and used for testing. This manual supports the
T-BERD ⁄ MTS 5800v2 assembly when using a TEM Module for high accuracy timing.
ATP —
Acterna test packet. A test packet that contains a time stamp and sequence
number for measuring round trip delay and counting out-of-sequence frames.
B
BeiDou —
Timing referenced used by GNSS Satellites operated out of the Peoples
Republic of China and adjacent regions.
BER —
Bit Error Rate.
