MD-175
GNSS High Stability
Our fully integrated, low-noise GNSS disciplined module is available in a compact, surface-mount 40 × 50 mm footprint. It has an embedded GPS- and GLONASS-compatible 34-channel receiver and provides a 10 MHz sinewave and 1pps HCMOS output. An onboard OCXO provides stability in the unlocked mode.
MD-013 ULTRA CLEAN
GNSS Ultra-Low ADEV
This GNSS disciplined oscillator module features ultra-low phase noise and ultra-low Allan Deviation (ADEV). It has an embedded 72-channel GNSS receiver for GPS, Galileo and GLONASS services, and it can be configured to use an external reference.
MD-013
GNSS High Stability
The MD-013 is a standard platform module that provides 1 pps TTL, 10 MHz sinewave and 10 MHz square-wave outputs that are disciplined to an external 1 pps reference. The internal reference oscillator is an ultra-stable OCXO.
MD-015
Atomic Clock Stability
The MD-015 offers atomic stability and accuracy and uses a Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC) or Miniature Atomic Clock (MAC-D) as the reference clock to provide optimal holdover time. This is achieved using algorithms that correct for temperature change, frequency aging and pressure sensitivity.
Markets and Applications
GNSSDOs and GPSDOs provide the critical function of timing in a small, modular and customizable form factor that can operate as a stand-alone system or can be incorporated into a larger system. They are an excellent choice for Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) and holdover capability for several markets and applications.

Custom Solutions and Capabilities
Along with our standard off-the-shelf modules, we also offer custom capabilities. We can design, develop and adjust our modules and solutions to fit your specific application requirements. Our expertise in the manufacturing and design of crystal oscillators, atomic clocks, PNT systems and algorithms can be applied in a custom level solution. Our capabilities include:
- Multiple form factor—low Size, Weight, Power and Cost (SWaP-C), modules, box level, rackmount
- Ruggedization—high shock/vibration, board coatings and low g-sensitivity
- Multiple frequency outputs up to 100 MHz
- Ultra-low phase noise and Allan Deviation (ADEV)
- Multiple inputs
- Embedded receivers and oscillators
- Custom firmware
- GNSS, M-Code and alternate-constellation receivers available
- All standard, off-the-shelf modules that are CE/RoHS compliant
Software
We can help you with the integration of our GNSSDO and GPSDOs because we have spent years developing the Vectron® Serial Interface Protocol (VSIP) and Vectron Disciplined Oscillator Module Monitor 3 (VDOM3) software. These solutions help you get the most out of our GNSSDOs and GPSDOs by enabling you to configure many settings on the GNSSDO and GPSDO over the serial interface or using the GUI from the VDOM3 software. VDOM can also be used to track and report the status of the module and plot the performance of the oscillator, whether you are using one of our OCXOs or atomic clocks. The software also allows you to monitor the satellites being used in the GNSS receiver. Our mature software can be customized for specific users and applications as well.
Vectron Serial Interface Protocol (VSIP)
- NMEA-0183-based protocol for communications with GNSSDO and GPSDO modules
- Enables a user to configure specific module settings, such as GNSS observables
- Can configure alarms, holdover settings, reference switching and other functions
Vectron Disciplined Oscillator Module (VDOM3) Monitor
- Monitors GNSSDOs and GPSDOs from either a PC or embedded system
- Can track and report module status, plot oscillator timing performance, track satellites and perform other functions
