5 GPS SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

5.1 General
The project has two major sites and their associated facilities. The sites are CCB, and
TER. Sentence InComplete

GPS system is required to give the same timestamp for every computerized device and
system which needs it for synchronization of events and logs.
This section provides an overview of the GPS system functional and technical
requirements as detailed in the project specifications document no A-TEL-SPE-970-
,
30003-0 Title Telecommunication Specification – Local Area Network System and
documents reference within the same.

5.2 GPS System Requirements

The GPS system is required to be designed based on latest time synchronization
technology overlaid on a Local Area Network. The GPS system shall comprise of an
NTP server which comprises of a GPS antenna to receive GPS timing signals, a GPS
receiver to process the GPS signal, and an output card to distribute the signals to the
associated systems.
Two independent NTP servers are required to be deployed on each at CCB, TER and
BdV Administration Building such that failure in one of the systems will not affect the
other. These NTP servers are to be integrated over the LAN to provide time
synchronization to the network. In case of failure in the connectivity between the sties,
each of these systems is required to operate independently to provide communication
within the site.

Page 10 of 20
 GPS FUNCTIONAL DESIGN SPECIFICATION
Document Number: A-TEL-SPE-970-46508
Revision B

Each of these NTP servers is required to be integrated with other telecommunication

systems to ensure the same timestamp is distributed between them through LAN and
through Firewall for third party systems
Local Area Network (LAN) is being deployed as a separate telecommunication
subsystem in this project with Core, Distribution and Edge Layer and its associated
structured cabling infrastructure. The LAN has a number of Virtual LANs (VLAN) for
accommodating segregated traffic from various telecommunication subsystems.
The NTP server is required to utilise this LAN and Structured cabling infrastructure for
connectivity between the servers, and other systems.
Time synchronization is critical for the operations and hence the NTP server is required
to be designed to meet an availability criterion of 99.99%. To achieve this, the NTP
server is required to have redundant core components and operate with dual redundant
230V AC 50HZ feeders from UPS.
GPS system and its components are required to meet general design requirements
including environmental as detailed in previous sections.

6 GPS SYSTEM DESIGN

6.1 General
The GPS system is designed to provide clock synchronization to the subsystem devices
to all sites including CPF, BI, Airstrip, MACP, AACP & BdV. wo independent GPS
systems are provisioned with one each at CCB, TER and Admin Building to provide
services within itself and its associated facilities. The independent systems are then
integrated over the LAN to work as a single system. In case of failure in the connectivity
between the systems, each of the system will act independently to provide
uninterrupted services for nodes connected to that site.

6.2 GPS System Architecture

GPS system is designed based on Gorgy Timing Make LEDI NETWORK ITS v2m 2U
Platform with NTP Technology. The system is designed with an NTP server along with
a GPS antenna. The LEDI NETWORK ITS v2m 2U is a modular server where the
outputs can be tailored based on the project’s needs.
The LEDI NETWORK ITS v2m 2U system uses a GPS Bullet Antenna to receive the
required signals from the GNSS constellation and the signals are then processed, and
a pure timing signal is then distributed through the NTP ports.
GPS system for this project is designed with 6 x 2 NTP Ports cards for the CCB, TER
area, and 4 x 2 NTP Ports cards for the BDV area.
The NTP server in CCB, TER is designed with 6 cards with each providing 2 NTP ports
and yielding a total of 12 NTP ports to be used in the BI area.

Page 11 of 20
 GPS FUNCTIONAL DESIGN SPECIFICATION
Document Number: A-TEL-SPE-970-46508
Revision B

These 12 NTP ports will be used to provide clock information to other systems through
their associated LAN infrastructure. The below table shows how systems and their
respective LANs are associated to the NTP server.

Document Number: A-TEL-SPE-970-46508
Revision B

GPS System – BdV

6.3 Oscillator and Output Accuracy

The GPS System uses crystal oscillators to provide synchronization clocks to the
systems interfaced with it. The oscillator of choice was the TCXO (Temperature
Compensated Crystal Oscillator).
The TCXO can provide a stable frequency of stability 1.10-6 at operation temperatures
of 0°C to 60°C. This oscillator provides an ageing factor of 2.10-9 / day. When
synchronized to the GNSS, the TCXO can provide an output clock with an accuracy
from 10ns to 50ns.

6.4 Prioritization of Clocks

The GPS System can use up to three different synchronization sources with their
priorities listed in the following table:

Multi-constellation GNSS Receiver

1st time reference input
ASCII (NMEA 0183)

AFNOR NFS 87500/IRIG B/IEEE1344

2nd time reference input
NTPv4 Ethernet 10/100BaseT (RJ45 connector)

PPS input
3rd time reference input
Frequency input (from 1Khz to 10 MHz)

Page 13 of 20
 GPS FUNCTIONAL DESIGN SPECIFICATION
Document Number: A-TEL-SPE-970-46508
Revision B

For each reference input, only one source can be chosen to run the GPS System.
During the GPS System operation, the first reference input is considered the main
reference input which is the Multi-constellation GNSS Receiver in this case. If this fails
for any reason, the GPS System will fall back to the second reference input. In case
the second reference input is found to fail as well, the GPS System will fall back to the
third and last reference input. However, for this project 2nd and 3rd reference inputs are
not used.
The priority list structure is configurable.

6.5 Display
The GPS System features a 4 x 20 Orange OLED screen with backlight to display the
clock information. This display can also be used for basic configuration when paired
with the built-in keypad. The display can be used to show the local or UTC time. IP
address configuration can be done from the built-in keypad along with device reset.

6.6 Internal Battery and Autonomy

The GPS System comes with an internal battery for the unlikely case where all of the
UPS power inputs are down. This internal battery can help keep the GPS System
running for up to 4 hours based on the system’s configuration.
The system provides a degree of autonomy for the synchronization clocks as the
oscillator would keep on running in hold over mode with an ageing factor of 2.10-9 /
day. After re-synchronizing with the GNSS, the system can provide the clock with the
output accuracy up to 50 ns.

6.7 Network Protocols

The GPS System uses various network protocols to transmit its data over the LAN.
These protocols are included in the below Table:
Protocol Application
To distribute clocking signal through the
NTP (v2, v3, v4)
network
To allow devices to ask for the clocking
NTP Client/Server, Broadcast, Multicast
information
To allow access to the advanced
HTTPS
configuration of the NTP server
SNMP (v1, v2c, v3) To send alarms to the TMS
IPv4 / IPv6. (DHCP v4 / v6 compatible) For network connectivity

6.8 Antenna and Feeders

The GPS System uses a bullet antenna with a gain of +35 dB ± 3 dB and works best in
the frequency range of 1574 MHz to 1576 MHz. The antenna has an output impedance

Page 14 of 20
 GPS FUNCTIONAL DESIGN SPECIFICATION
Document Number: A-TEL-SPE-970-46508
Revision B

of 50Ω and VSWR of 2.0 maximum. The antenna uses Right-hand Circular Polarization
(RHCP). Given the central frequency of 1575.42 MHz, the antenna provides out of band
rejection which starts at 7 dB minimum at 20 MHz away from the central frequency and
goes up to 30 dB minimum at 100 MHz away from the central frequency.
The bullet antenna operates best in temperatures varying from –40 °C to +85 °C. The
antenna can also withstand a shock of 50 g on the vertical axis and 30g on all axes.
The antenna can withstand corrosion up to 5% Salt Spray.
The connection between the antenna and the GNSS receiver will be through a coaxial
feeder with a diameter of ¼” or 6.1 mm. This coaxial feeder model is LMR 240. The
LMR 240 provides insertion loss of 0.32 dB/meter at 1.5 GHz. The LMR 240 provides
flexibility with a minimum bending radius of 19.1 mm. The shielding efficiency of 90 dB
allows the coaxial to withstand heavy external electromagnetic interference.
GPS antenna will be installed on a pole structure attached to the wall on top of the
building. The structure and feeder will be connected to ground for protection from
lightning.

6.9 Availability
The GPS system provides a reliable system with MTBF of 110,000 hours and an
average MTTR of approximately 7 minutes.
MTTR is assumed to be 48 hours within which diagnosis, replacement and restoration
happens. However, this will require availability of qualified personnel at site with spares
for replacement of defective units.

MTBF 110,000 Hours

MTTR 48 Hours
Availability for a MTBF / (MTBF+MTTR) = 110,000 / (110,000 + 48) =
(A)
single GPS unit 0.999564

Availability for both

1 - (1-A)2 = 1 - (1 - 0.999564)2 = 0.99999981
GPS units

Availability for both

99.999981%
GPS units in %

Hence the availability of the GPS system with 2 units in 2 separated locations far
exceeds 99.99%. MTTR may be up to 44 days for achieving 99.99% availability.
Availability calculations are a probability based on MTBF values provided by
Manufacturer and generated out of interpolated data obtained during short duration of
test or statistical information.

6.10 Redundancy and Failure Considerations

6.10.1 Geographical Redundancy for NTP Servers

The NTP Servers have been separated geographically where the first is installed in the
CCB, TER and the second is installed in the Admin building. This would give the ability
for each of the NTP servers to work independently of each other and in case one of
them fails, the other would still work as intended.
The systems are protected from any failures associated with specific geographical
location such as power failure, isolations, shutdowns, fire etc.

6.10.2 Redundant Power Supplies for Each NTP Server

Each of the NTP Servers is equipped with dual AC power supplies where each supply
would receive its power from one of the UPS supplies available in the cabinet. Each
NTP server comes with a built-in battery which allows the unit to run for up to 4 hours
based on its configuration without the AC UPS.

6.11 Interface to Telecom systems

GPS provides clock synchronization data to Telecom, Video Security, Access Control,
and Process Control Systems. All equipment and devices within the following systems
will be configured to follow clock from the GPS based NTP server.
Interface details are provided as follows:

6.12 Configuration and Management

The GPS System is provided with a dedicated workstation connected to GPS
equipment via BLAN for configuration and management. The GPS system provides
basic configuration capability through the built-in display and keypad and also provides
advanced configuration through a web browser accessed from the GPS workstation.
The advanced configuration allows the user to configure several parameters which will
be covered in the operation and maintenance manual.
