5071A

Performance suited to advanced communications and tracking systems
Stable frequency generation and frequency flexibility are required to transmit and receive signals properly between ground terminals and communication satellites. The 5071A’s state-of-the art technology produces offset and primary frequencies with the same guaranteed stability.

Frequency accuracy to 5 x 10^-13
The intrinsic accuracy of the cesium beam tube assures that any 5071A Option 001 will power up to within 5 x 10^-13 of the accepted standard for frequency. This is achieved under full environmental conditions in 30 minutes or less— and without the need for any adjustments or alignments.

Long-term stability better than 1 x 10^-14
The 5071A Option 001 high-performance cesium beam tube guarantees stability to be better than 1 part in 10^-14 for averaging times of five days or greater. The 5071A is the first cesium standard to specify stability for averaging times longer than 100,000 seconds (approximately one day).

Proven track record in military and commercial applications
The 5071A primary frequency standard can work very well with a GPS timing receiver to produce and maintain highly accurate time and frequency. Timing accuracy for the GPS system is based, in large part, on the accuracy and stability of a number of 5071A primary frequency standards. The 5071A provides complete remote control and monitoring capabilities to accommodate integration as master clocks into telecommunication, satellite communication, or navigation systems.

Easy to use with automatic startup and intuitive menu structure
The 5071A is easy to use. Automatic startup is simple and requires no adjustments. A logical menu structure simplifies front-panel operations, selections, and status reporting. The 5071A can be operated and maintained anywhere. All controls are programmable, status can be checked remotely, and no adjustments or alignments are necessary during operation. An internal battery provides 45 minutes of backup in case of AC power failure.
