  • Page 27 Switch Card The RSC (SCU) switch card is an automatic multiplexer for redundant systems with two Meinberg radio clocks. The card is used for the automatic switching of the pulse and frequency outputs as well as the serial interfaces of the connected clocks. The selection of the respectively active system is made, based on the state of the clock’s generated TIME_SYNC signals, which show the synchronous state of the clocks.

    4.2 Meinberg GPS Antenna/Converter 4.2.1 Introduction The Meinberg GPS antenna/converter unit combines a standard GPS patch antenna with a frequency converter which translates the original 1.5 GHz signal received from the GPS satellites to an intermediate frequency, so a standard coaxial cable type like RG58 can be used for antenna cable lengths up to 300 meters (1000 ft). If a low-loss cable type like RG213 is used then even 700 meters (2300 ft) between receiver and antenna are possible without requirement for an additional amplifier.
