GPS Setup (7600 MHD-REF)

The GPS module comes with the 7600-MHD-REF model and is installed in
Slot 1. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is currently the only fully-func-
tional Global Navigation Satellite System. More than two dozen GPS satel-
lites are in medium Earth orbit, transmitting signals allowing GPS receivers
to determine the receiver’s location, speed, and direction.

GPS also provides a precise time reference used in many applications
including synchronization of telecommunications networks.

The GPS BNCs (and the AES unbalanced outputs) active on the 7600
MHD-REF model are shown in

Figure 25

The 1PPS (1 Pulse Per Second) output is a precise TTL level pulse which
may be terminated into 75 ohm when connected into external equip-
ment.

The GPS antenna input should be connected to a high quality 50R GPS
antenna.

The AES 1 and 2 outputs provide an unbalanced duplicate of the
signals on the AES 9 pin Sub-D connector (
