Datasheet

Overview

The VIAVI Micro-JLT is a GNSS disciplined oscillator (GNSSDO) module with lower size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) and higher performance than legacy GPSDOs. It is built on a rugged platform for high-volume, low-cost applications and uses a latest-generation GNSS receiver.

The Micro-JLT is form and function compatible with the FireFly-IIA GPSDO. Variants are available for high-vibration and high-shock environments, with either a SOCXO or a DOCXO oscillator.

The module provides a subset of the features of the legacy FireFly-IIA and Mini-JLT products to reduce cost, while offering comparable or higher performance. Streamlined manufacturing techniques make it suitable for high-volume applications.

Software

The Micro-JLT is compatible with the GPSCon control program, a freeware application available from VIAVI. JLTerm and dedicated Micro-JLT GNSS software are also available for download. The product is offered in a range of configurations to meet different requirements.
