Hi All,
This is my first post here, the second that John will see. The
amount of information available is staggering (to me anyway).
I am new to the idea of GPS, and have only listened to the WWV 5, 10
and 15 MHz stations way back in high school. That would be about 33
years ago now I guess. These days I have a basement electronics lab and
would really like to have a GPS type 10 MHz clock to synchronize all my
equipment. It's mostly HP, the most critical would be a 5535A universal
counter and a 3585A spectrum analyzer. My problem? I know zero about
GPS frequency standards and I would really like some help in order to
get set up correctly if possible. I need to buy a receiver with
oscillator I guess, and an antenna. I'm located near Toronto, Ontario
in Canada.
Once I have a frequency standard running, I'll have to build a
distribution amplifier for it as well. I see they are pretty expensive
to buy. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Until then, I'll bounce
around here and try to educate myself some. I have read that HP Z3801
and similar models are easy to use. There is also a Trimble (?) as
well. I need guidance folks!
Thank you, -Chris
