The requirement for one or more reference input signals that drive multiple time and frequency outputs and formats.
No two requirements are the same (amazing)
The desire to say “Yes” every time.

11. TFD 8000

12. TFD 8000
A Collaborative Effort between then Gary Smith (then a Sales Rep) and David Wright (a young TFS Sales Manager) for the US Navy
Still being sold (issued a new 5 year contract) and now going through a Technology Refresh
Incorporating MMC Technology on the Front End
Maintaining the Signal Distribution already in place
Represents a Key change in architecture
1st Generation Smart Clock Technology (SCT)
Internal reference signals travel the backplane of a multi-slot chassis.
Each OSM develops the format of the desired output from that internal reference.

13. High Performance Timing System (HPTS)
2nd Generation Smart Clock Technology (SCT)
Developed for Boeing P8 on the military side
Now used on another DoD classified aircraft project
Used in many Satcom systems
US Army (Strategic Systems MET, PTR)
Viasat (Commercial)
4U Unit with Dual Master Clocks and Power (capability)
SNMP & RS-232 based command and control structure
Accepts 1PPS-HQ, GPS, 10 MHz and or Time Code Input References

14. HPTS 6 OSM Slots (Provides over 90 output connections per unit) NTP
Precision Frequency, (10 MHz, 100 MHz)
Others as desired
Hitless Frequency Failover
Pulses
Time Codes
1st Generation Universal OSM
NTP
Flexible design allows new formats as desired

15. HPTS Very thorough fault monitoring via SNMP or RS-232 Interface
Monitors each output signal and reports good/bad once per second
Designed for a campus environment
Multiple units connected via Fiber to expand precision time and frequency capability into various co located sites with different classifications or purposes

16. Modular Master Clock (MMC)
Leverages the knowledge base gained in all of the previous systems to provide the most intelligent /accurate modular system on the market today
3rd Generation Smart Clock Technology (SCT)
1 U and 2U units
Dual master clocks and dual power (AC/DC)
12 OSM slots

17. MMC Command and Control Hot Swap Modules Touch screen
SNMP v3 with encryption
PC utility
RS-232
Hot Swap Modules
OSMs enter through the front
Transition cards in the rear allow module swaps without cable disconnection

18. MMC The MMC has built-in anti-spoofing technology.
The Rb oscillators are characterized at the factory so that the Master Clock Modules (MCM) can detect small changes in time and frequency in the reference input.
Each reference is continually monitored whether used or not to determine validity
5 different reference inputs allow the user to determine the failover path if references fail
GPS (SAASM)/GNSS
HQ-1PPS
IRIG
10 MHz
Crosslink OSM

19. MMC
OSM’s
Universal provides most common time codes (analog and digital) PPS, PPM
Each output is programmable
NTP (dual port) NTP v4
Synthesizer (accurate to 5 x 10e-11)
Programmable to 1 Hz (in OSM’s range)
E1-T1
Nx8
Low Phase Noise (LPN) 1,5,10 MHz
Optical Crosslink

20. MMC Complete status available from any control method
Including units connected via Fiber
Histograms of the control loops are available from the utility, and front panel
Unit has the ability to record a recurring event for trouble shooting purposes.
The customer can record the issue and send the file to the factory for analysis by engineering

21. MMC Current Wins GPNTS program for the USN (2U) USN LPD (1U)
