Connecting a 1PPS Source
A 1PPS signal is required for simulcast base stations. Use a 50Ω coaxial cable
(RG58 or RG223) to connect the source to the base station’s 1PPS input.
You can daisy-chain up to six base stations using T-junctions. We
recommend that the cable length between the first and last load is kept to a
minimum. This will reduce any propagation variation between base stations.
The maximum overall cable length is 30m. Terminate the last connection
with a 50Ω resistor, otherwise reflections of the 1PPS pulse may occur.
