    The OctoClock-G CDA-2990 is an upgraded version of the OctoClock CDA-2990, which includes an internal GPS-disciplined, oven-controlled crystal oscillator.  Like the OctoClock CDA-2990, the OctoClock-G CDA-2990 provides 8 PPS and 10 MHz outputs.
    Overview
    Fully Integrated Timing Source with 8-Way Distribution (10 MHz and 1 PPS)
    Convenient Solution for Multi-Channel Synchronization
    Use with MIMO Capable N-Series Devices for Coherent System
    User Selection between Internal GPSDO Or External 10 MHz/1 PPS Source
    Source detection with automatic switch over in case of failure or disconnect
    19″ Rackmount – 1U
    Locking Power Supply Connector
    The OctoClock-G CDA-2990 is an affordable, high-accuracy timing reference and distribution system. This is a useful accessory for users that would like to build multi-channel systems that are synchronized to a common timing source. For example, the OctoClock-G CDA-2990 can be used to synchronize a system of USRP N210s for coherent operation.  This can enable phased array applications such as beamforming, super-resolution direction-finding, diversity combining, or MIMO transceiver design.
    The OctoClock-G CDA-2990 distributes 10 MHz and 1 PPS signals generated from an internal GPS-disciplined, oven-controlled oscillator (GPSDO), or an external source.  The user can switch between these sources with a front-panel switch, and there is an automatic switch-over capability in case of failure or source disconnect.
    The GPSDO serves as an accurate reference that can be synchronized to the GPS timing standard.  This allows developers to time-align multi-channel systems across the globe within ~50 ns.  When the GPSDO is not locked to the GPS constellation, it still provides 10 MHz/1 PPS signals, with an accuracy better than 25 ppb.
