  • Page 19: The Modular System Lantime

    3 The Modular System LANTIME 3 The Modular System LANTIME LANTIME is a set of equipment composed of a reference clock GNSS, a single-board computer (LAN-CPU) with integrated network card, and a power supply unit, all installed in a metal desktop case and ready to operate. The interfaces provided by LANTIME are accessible via connectors in the rear panel of the case.

    4 Network Timeserver with GNSS synchronized time base The LANTIME (Local Area Network Time Server) provides a high precision time base to a TCP/IP network (Stratum-1-Server). The NTP (Network Time Protocol) is used to synchronize all NTP clients with the ref- erence.

  • Page 21: Mounting The Antenna

    Since the satellite orbits are located between latitudes 55 North and 55 South, this allows for the best possible reception. Meinberg provides their own GPS receivers which operate with an antenna/converter unit and thus allow for very long antenna cables, but some devices also include GNSS receivers which support other satellite sys- tems like GLONASS, or Galileo in addition to GPS.

  • Page 22: Meinberg Gps Antenna/Converter

    5.1.1 Meinberg GPS Antenna/Converter 5.1.1.1 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.

  • Page 24 Note: If the antenna cable is assembled locally instead of using a cable shipped with the GPS receiver it has to be made sure that the connectors have been soldered and assembled properly, and that there is no short-circuit in the cable or in one of the connectors. Otherwise GPS reception may be degraded, or the GPS receiver can even be damaged.

  • Page 25: General Gnss Antennae

    Some Meinberg devices use alternate GNSS receivers which support other satellite systems like GLONASS, Galileo or BeiDou, in addition to GPS. These receivers can’t be operated directly with the standard Meinberg antenna/converter unit described in chapter "Meinberg GPS Receiver", so they require a different kind of antenna.
  • Page 26 WARNING! Antenna mounting without effective anti-fall protection Danger to life due to fall! - Pay attention to effective working safety when installing antennas! - Never work without an effective anti-fall equipment! WARNING! Working on the antenna system during thunderstorms Danger to life due to electrical shock! - Do not carry out any work on the antenna system or the antenna cable if there is a risk of a lightning strike.
  • Page 27 5 Mounting the Antenna 5.1.2.2 GNSS Antenna for Mobile Applications The RV-76G is an active GNSS antenna which can receive the signals of the GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellite systems. It operates with a 5V DC supply voltage provided by the receiver, and should be preferred for mobile applications.

  • Page 28: Powering Up A Gnss Receiver

    5.1.3 Powering up a GNSS Receiver If both the antenna and the power supply have been connected the system is ready to operate. Depending on the type of oscillator installed in the receiver it takes about 10 seconds (OCXO-LQ) until 3 minutes (OCXO-MQ / HQ) until the oscillator has warmed up and reached the required frequency accuracy.

  • Page 34: Booting The Gnss Receiver

    7 Booting the GNSS receiver If both the antenna and the power supply have been connected, the system is ready to operate. About 2 minutes after power-up the receiver’s oscillator has warmed up and operates with the required accuracy. If the receiver finds valid almanac and ephemeris data in its battery buffered memory and the receiver’s position has not changed significantly since its last operation, the receiver can determine which satellites are presently in view.
