Description
The AR-51-07 unit is an industrial low profile GPS-Disciplined Rubidium Clock which offers an excellent stability and accuracy. The unit
includes a Rubidium-Atomic-Standard which is phase-locked to the GPS or other external inputs. All outputs are derived from the Rubidium-
Atomic-Standard and maintain highly accurate me and frequency even when GPS recep on is interrupted. When disciplined to GPS the unit
provides me accuracy of < 20ns RMS and frequency accuracy be er than 2E-12.
The AR-51-07 includes Have Quick (ICD-GPS-060) input and output which is essen al for secure radio communica on applica ons. The unit
can be remote controlled via MIL-STD-1553RT channel which is required in airborne applica ons.
The unit includes internal GPS receiver (C/A code) and have op on to install P(Y) code SAASM GPS receiver (For more informa on contact
factory).
The AR-51-07 is designed for demanding pla orms such as airborne, helicopters, UAV’s, shipboard and ground mobile.

Principles of Opera on
nued)
The following block diagrams depict the opera on of the AR-51-07. The unit includes Rubidium Standard and accepts Input from internal
GPS receiver, external 1PPS or external TOD (H.Q). All outputs are derived from the internal Rubidium Clock, which is phase locked by a
digital PLL to the selected input. Thus, the Rubidium Clock - frequency and me - follows the GPS on the long term average. If GPS recep on
is lost for short or long periods of me the Rubidium Clock shall maintain accurate me and frequency with no phase interrup on.
