    ESCRIPTION ODEL 1 Brief Description Model 6842 The circuit board 6842 is a further development of the satellite radio controlled clock system 6840. When built into a system it can execute extended functions i.e. controlling a LAN- connection etc. The measurements of the circuit boards correspond to the euro-format 100 mm x 160 mm. Par- ticular care has been taken of the following features.
  • Page 6: Introduction

    2 Introduction The hopf_radio- / crystal clock systems well proved since 1975 have been extended by the receiver unit 6842, thus enabling the world wide use of this time base at highest precision level. The time base is synchronised by the globally installed satellite-navigation system GPS. At a height of about 20 000 km satellites circle around the earth on different orbits and angles twice a day.
