TB-1 
Field Time Sync Generator TB-1
- Enables measurements in various fields and facilitates the development of wireless communication equipment.
- Highly accurate, reliable, fast, and portable.
- Enables more accurate measurements in combination with user's measuring devices.
- Equipped with Furuno’s Multi-GNSS Timing Module GT-88* which enables countermeasures against strong multipath in urban area.
Just connect to your usual instrument.
Light, fast, accurate! Palm sized “Atomic Clock”
With an embedded high precision OCXO, TB-1 is designed as a portable GNSS reference signal generator for RF system maintenance and R&D in the field.
It provides a 1 pulse per second (1PPS) and a 10MHz reference frequency, both synchronized with UTC, which can be used in digital broadcast, 5G and V2X system field testing for time synchronization and frequency measurement purposes.
Fields of Application
Measuring synchronization delays in the field
No need for a heavy, unwieldy atomic clock to measure the synchronization delay of mobile base stations.
The quick start-up of the TB-1 dramatically increases the efficiency of field operations.
Reliable reference for frequency measurement
The frequency output of TB-1 is as stable as an atomic oscillator. It can be used as a reference signal for frequency checks of rubidium oscillators used in broadcasting stations and for field reception surveys.
Experiment on moving vehicle
TB-1 can be used for experiment in moving vehicles as it has a small form factor and is easy to handle. TB-1 is suitable for frequency and delay measurements in V2X system development, as well as for synchronizing multiple sensors with UTC.
Alternative for stationary equipment
TB-1 can be used for a wide range of applications, not only in the field , but also in indoor facilities. As long as the antenna receives GNSS signals (ex. at a window), TB-1 provides a 1 second pulse (1 PPS) and a 10 MHz reference frequency, both synchronized with UTC.
Two types of reference signal output
- 1 PPS (synchronized to UTC)
- 10 MHz (coherent and synchronized with 1 PPS)
Ultra-precise time
- Just by receiving GNSS satellite signals, TB-1 can provide a timing signal (1 PPS) in the nanosecond order and a reference frequency (10 MHz) as precise as an atomic oscillator.
Quick start
- TB-1 starts providing a 1 PPS synchronized with UTC and a coherent 10 MHz reference frequency in about 5 minutes after power on. (In normal mode)
Reliable in various environments (urban canyons, in vicinities of tall buildings, indoors near windows, etc.)
- TB-1 internal GNSS receiver includes countermeasures against GNSS vulnerabilities such as multipath, jamming, spoofing and GNSS signal loss.
