RigExpert Tokenblauser GPSDO

The RigExpert Tokenblauser is a low-noise, GPS-controlled oscillator with four independent outputs. It is ideally suited for laboratory and experimental purposes.

The Tokenblauser is optimized for use as a laboratory reference clock with a stability of 0.001 ppm (or better) and for driving PLLs in RF/microwave/satellite applications. An additional 10 MHz output is also provided. All signals are standard 3.3V CMOS and are output on the BNC connectors.

The Tokenblauser was also designed to be a versatile platform for developers. The device is Arduino-compatible, and the firmware is open-source. With no or minimal changes to the code or hardware, an advanced user can:

• connect the GPSDO to a computer for debug purposes or data processing (e.g., to create ADEV/MDEV diagrams);
• modify the firmware to experiment with various PLL and FLL algorithms;
• Use custom GPS modules and GPS antennas.
• Use different types of OCXOs and rubidium oscillators
