The Damm BS system has a flexible system to provide synchronization between individual
Transceivers. Build-in GPS Receivers give absolute time synchronization to the radio cells.
External Inputs can also be marked as Primary Sync. References.
When a BS is Network locked, automatic frequency correction of the Master Oscillator (RX
and TX carrier frequencies) is provided, and Seamless Handover to other Network
Synchronized Cells is activated.
The BS can be setup to run as either Sync Master 0 to 4 or Slave. The Masters shall
preferably be provided with GPS antennas or an External Primary Sync source. The
remaining BS's shall be setup as Slave and does not need a GPS antenna.
The BS421 is provided with one External 1PPS (1 Pulse Per Second) output and two external
1PPS inputs. The Slaves shall receive external 1PPS inputs connected to Masters.
In addition to the hardware 1PPS, sync messages are send every second on IP from the
Masters to attached BS's.
A Master will indicate Master Mode, if:
1) Synchronized to the internal GPS RX or
2) Synchronized to an External Input marked as Primary and indicating Master Mode
