4.4.7.3 Clock Board
Functions of Board
A GCUa/GCUb/GCGa/GCGb board performs the clock function. The GCUa/GCUb/GCGa/GCGb board performs
the following functions:
Extracts timing signals from the external synchronization timing port and from the synchronization line
signals, processes the timing signals, and provides the timing signals and reference clock for the entire system.
Performs the fast pull-in and holdover functions on the system clock.
Supports switchovers between active and standby boards. The standby board traces the clock phase of the
active board. This ensures the smooth output of the clock phase in the case of a switchover.
Receives and processes the clock signals and positioning information from the GPS card.(Only the
GCGa/GCGb board supports this function.)
Dimensions (H x W x D) 248 mm x 32.3 mm x 395.4 mm (9.76 in. x 1.27 in. x 15.57 in.)
Weight GCUa: 1.1 kg; GCGa: 1.18 kg GCUb: 0.98 kg; GCGb: 1.00 kg
ANT Port for the GPS antenna. This port on the GCGa/GCGb SMA male
board is used to receive the timing signals and positioning
information from the GPS satellite. This port is not used
on the GCUa/GCUb board.
Table 2 Ports on the GCUa/GCUb/GCGa/GCGb board
CLKOUT0~9 Ports for synchronization clock signal output. The ten RJ45
ports are used to provide 8 kHz clock signals and 1 PPS
clock signals.
COM0 This port receives only clock signals and automatically RJ45
discards all other data.
TESTOUT Port for clock signal outputs. The clock signals are used SMA male
for testing.
TESTIN Port for clock signal inputs. The clock signals are used for SMA male
testing.
CLKIN0, CLKIN1 Port for BITS clock signal and line clock signal inputs. SMA male
