TIMING AND FREQUENCY PRODUCTS Distribution Amplifier The Arbiter Systems®, Inc. Model 1 073A Distribution Amplifier is designed to buffer and distribute signals generated by sources such as the Models 1 084A/B/C, 1 088B, 1 092A/B/C and the 1 093B/C GPS SatelliteControlled Clocks. The Model 1 073A includes three separate channels, each with four high-drive-capability outputs, to buffer your choice of signals. Each channel has a limiting amplifier to stabilize the peak-to-peak signal level. Each input is galvanically isolated with a transformer or optical isolator to break ground loops and reject common-mode signals. Standard isolation is 2000 volts rms. Each channel may use independent signals or, for applications requiring more than four outputs, may use the same signal. Channel A may drive channels B and C or channel B may drive channel C. These selections are made with internal jumpers. For fiber-optic input signals, Option 01 provides an 820 nm, Type ST optical fiber input for channel A. Each input and output may be individually ac- or dccoupled. In dc-coupled mode, the Model 1 073A can distribute 5 V CMOS/TTL logic-level signals, such as one pulse per second (1 PPS) and unmodulated IRIGB timecode. In ac-coupled mode (intended for frequencies of 1 00 kHz or greater), the Model 1 073A can receive and distribute timebase and reference frequency signals up to 1 0 MHz. Input and output configuration may be independently selected. For example, a channel may receive an ac-coupled 5 MHz input, and one output of that channel may be set for dc-coupled (logic-level) output while the other three are set for ac-coupled outputs. Settings are made with internal jumpers. Because of the limiting amplifiers and frequency limit when ac coupled, the Model 1 073A is not suitable for distribution of modulated IRIG-B signals. Intended primarily for unattended operation, the Model 1 073A has no display or keyboard. A front-panel LED indicates that power is applied and the unit is operating. Power options include 85 Vac to 264 Vac or 1 1 0 Vdc to 370 Vdc with an IEC-320 detachable cordset, 85 Vac to 250 Vac or 1 1 0 Vdc to 350 Vdc terminal strip inlet with surge withstand, or 1 0 Vdc to 60 Vdc terminal strip inlet with surge withstand.
