OPTION 03 BUILT IN DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIER
Option 03 allows counters and synthesizers throughout a facility to use the GPS
disciplined outputs from a Model 8197 as a common time base. Allowing
equipment to share an accurate common time base eliminates the need to buy
expensive, high stability time bases for each instrument or remove them from
service for periodic calibration.
Units equipped with Option 03 may drive up to 25 remote stations. Multiple
outputs are provided on the rear panel so that signals may be sent in several
different directions. A Line Tap at each remote station receives DC power and
the 10-MHz from the main coaxial trunk line cable. The signal is buffered then
divided to the frequency needed at that station. After filtering, the signal is
available at the Line Tap output. New stations are easily added to the system by
inserting additional Line Taps.
5.2.1 System Components
A frequency distribution system may use Model 8140T Line Taps, Model 8140VT
VersaTaps
, Model 8140TA Line Extender Amplifiers or Model 8140MT
MultiTaps. The following paragraphs describe each of these units.
5.2.1.1
Model 8140T Line Taps
These devices, powered by DC on the coaxial feedline, are attached to the
coaxial distribution network and provide an output frequency of 1 MHz, 5 MHz, or
10 MHz.
Input
: Buffered high input impedance causes negligible mismatch on main trunk
line distribution cable. Accepts signal levels provided by the base station
equipped with Option 03.
Output Level:
600 mV rms sinewave into 50 ohms.
Output Frequencies:
10, 5.0, or 1.0 MHz. Specify frequency for each Line Tap
ordered.
Harmonic Distortion of Output:
-40 dB.
