The PZF radio clock is a precision receiver system for the time signal transmitter DCF77. It is available as a module for use in systems such as Meinberg IMS, LANTIME M300 models and as a computer plug-in card. The microprocessor of the system performs the correlation of a reproduced pseudo-random bit sequence with the PZF of the transmitter side and simultaneously decodes the AM time and date information of the DCF telegram.
