Page 4: Introduction
Kits have to be used. For more than sixteen channels please contact WiNRADiO. For coherent operation, all WR-G65DDCe receivers must be clocked at exactly the same frequency and phase. To achieve this requirement, it is necessary to distribute a sampling clock from a single low phase noise clock source. - Page 5 WR-G65DDCe Multichannel Coherent Application Guide Picture 1-2: An example of three WR-G65DDCe receivers in coherent configuration...

Page 7: The Winradio Coherence Clock & 1Pps Kit (Wr-Cc1Pps-210E)
The ‘WiNRADiO Coherence Clock & 1PPS Kit’ (hereafter referred to as the 'Kit') provides production and distribution of a coherent 210 MHz clock for up to eight WR-G65DDCe receivers as well as digital synchronization of the receivers. It also features an internal frequency reference of 0.1 ppm stability, input for external frequency reference and digital... -

WR-G65DDCe receivers thus creating the coherent group of receivers. The unit generates a 210 MHz sampling clock for up to eight WR-G65DDCe receivers. The sampling clock is locked to a frequency reference, which can be internal or external. It also distributes a 1PPS trigger signal from the 1PPS input to all connected WR-G65DDCe receivers via the digital synchronization interface port SYNC OUT. -

These are located on the top of the unit and are facing upwards. The CLK IN input of each WR-G65DDCe receiver within a coherent group must be connected to one of these ports using the SMA patch cables (for coherent clock distribution) supplied with the Kit and described in Section 2.2.2. -

Page 14: Sma Patch Cables For Coherent Clock Distribution And Digital Synchronization
There are seventeen SMA patch cables supplied with the Kit. Eight of these SMA patch cables are used to distribute the sampling clock from the Coherent clock generator unit to all of the WR-G65DDCe receivers which are in coherent operation as described in Section 3.1. -

Page 18: Standard Installation Of Up To Eight Receivers
The basic setup of eight receivers is shown in Picture 3-1. The setup consists of a minimum two and up to eight WR-G65DDCe/CR receivers connected to the PC through the USB3 port. The receivers are interconnected with the Coherent clock generator unit through their CLK IN port and also with each other through their SYNC IN and SYNC OUT ports in a daisy-chain like manner to allow for digital synchronization. -
Page 19: Connecting The Sampling Clock Interconnection
All cables used for clock distribution must be of the same type and length. Cables of various types and lengths cannot be used within one coherent group of receivers. For interconnection, only use the original WiNRADiO SMA patch cables supplied with the Clock Kit as these are specially matched to be coherent. - Page 20 WR-G65DDCe Multichannel Coherent Application Guide All receivers within one coherent group are equal from the clock distribution point of view. The number of the receivers which can be coherently clocked by one Coherent clock generator unit is up to eight. Two units can be linked for driving up to sixteen receivers as described in Chapter 4.

Page 21: Connecting The Sync Interconnection
The number of the receivers which can be synchronized is unlimited in theory, but currently it is limited to 16. If more than sixteen channels are required, please contact WiNRADiO. Each SMA patch cable delays the synchronization signal by a certain time. The delay value is an integer number, which specifies the amount of sampling clock periods by which the cable delays the signal. - Page 22 WR-G65DDCe Multichannel Coherent Application Guide Picture 3-4: The SYNC interconnection is made in a daisy-chain manner, always linking SYNC OUT of the previous receiver with the SYNC IN of next receiver. The SMA patch cables described in Section 2.2.2 must be used for the interconnection. Only the SYNC...

Section 2.2.1.9. CAUTION: For best performance and safety, we recommend using only the power adapter supplied by WiNRADiO, which comes included with the Coherent clock generator unit. 3.6 Finishing the installation of the receivers Finish the installation of the receivers by connecting the power adapter to each receiver and USB3 connection to the PC followed by installation of the device drivers and the standard receiver application. -
Page 26: Extended Installation Of Up To Sixteen Receivers
To install more than eight and up to sixteen receivers as a single coherent group, two WiNRADiO Coherence Clock & 1PPS Kits (WR-CC1PPS-210e as described in chapter 2.2) are needed. Two coherent clock generator units are interconnected and act as single coherent clock generator unit providing 16 outputs of the coherent sampling clock. - Page 27 WR-G65DDCe Multichannel Coherent Application Guide No other ports on the slave unit are utilized in this extended installation. The ports REF IN, REF OUT, 1PPS IN, SYNC OUT as well as both LO OUT ports on a slave unit have to be left unconnected.
