Description of the Z3801A GPS Receiver

The Z3801A GPS Receiver provides highly accurate time and 
frequency outputs that can be used for synchronizing CDMA Cellular 
Land Network wireless base stations.

The Receiver provides highly accurate timing. If a satellite signal is 
lost, the Receiver automatically switches to holdover mode, which 
ensures system synchronization for up to 24 hours with reduced 
accuracy. 

The Z3801A has the following rear-panel Input/Output connectors: 

an I/O Port 1 25-pin female rectangular D subminiature connector 
(This connector provides two 1 PPS time outputs, two 10 MHz 
frequency outputs, and an RS-422 serial interface port).

10 MHz output BNC connector

an Antenna N-type connector

Power input jack

The front panel contains six Light-Emitting-Diode (LED) indicators to 
indicate that power has been applied (

Power

), the module has tracked 

and locked on to one or more GPS satellites (

GPS Lock

), the GPS system 

is operating in holdover mode (

Holdover

), and an error or invalid 

condition exists due to system fault or reduced accuracy of the outputs 
(

Alarm

), and two LEDs illuminated under user-defined conditions 

(

Enabled

Active

).

The Z3801A has no front panel display or keypad entry. Information is 
remotely entered into and retrieved from the Z3801A using customer-
supplied DCE (Digital Communications Equipment) connected to the 
rear-panel 25-pin RS-422 serial interface port.
