Multi-Channel Measurement System

A multi-channel system offers flexibility, reliability, and precision in a full production environment.

The TSC MM delivers cost-effective measurement of the phase difference between multiple continuous wave RF signals.

The TSC MMS is a multiple mixer measurement system designed to measure the phase difference between an RF signal from the clock under test and a reference RF signal shared by the measurement channels on a four-channel measurement module. The TSC MMS samples all inputs once every second and computes the phase difference relative to the 32 MHz internal oscillator. The system can also be configured to measure as many as three different frequencies simultaneously, with a frequency range of one to 20 MHz.

Flexible Measurement System
Designed to expand from a base configuration of four signal inputs to a full 28 in a single chassis, the TSC MMS samples all inputs once every second and computes the phase difference relative to the 32 MHz internal oscillator.

Multiple Frequency Inputs
The TSC MMS can be configured to measure as many as three different frequencies simultaneously, with a frequency range of one to 20 MHz.

Modular Expandability
With a base system designed for mounting in a 19-inch rack, expanding capacity is easy. Customers can increase the number of additional inputs simply by adding more standard modules, with four inputs available per module.

Database Management System for Storage and Retrieval
Powerful relational database from Symmetricom enables storage and rapid data retrieval of as many as three years of one-second data in an ODBC/SQL interface.
