The IBU-160i is a general-purpose frequency distribution amplifier designed for use with Brandywine high precision time sources.
The IBU-160i is contained in a compact IU rack- mount chassis. The IBU accepts two sets of inputs, comprising the reference input (100 Hz – 100 KHz) and status from the source. The IBU provides automatic changeover should one of the on-line source inputs fail. Manual source select override is available on the front panel, or through the Ethernet interface.
A variety of status indicators are located on the front panel for instant visual feedback, together with manual controls for source selection.
A 10/100 base T Ethernet interface provides full control over the functionality of the system, including reference selection and output amplitude (on a per channel basis).
User control of the unit is via a built-in Web Browser with user-friendly graphical interface, or via SNMP for system applications.
Applications for the IBU-160i include test ranges, satellite control centers, shipboard time distribution, airports, rail terminals, and any system requiring highly reliable time code distribution.
Features:
- Network Enabled Time Code Distribution Amplifier
- Dual Time Code Inputs with Auto Failover
- Support for Analog Time Codes between 100Hz and 100KHz
- Programmable per channel amplitude
- Supports SNMP v2c
- 1U 19” rack mount
- Redundant Hot Swappable Power Supplies

Brandywine Communication’s Havequick/1PPS Distribution Amplifier (HQS) is a small rugged, powered Havequick/1PPS distribution module mounted in a 4” x 4” x 2.5” environmentally secure enclosure. The HQS can provide an MTBF up to 1 million hours depending on configuration.
The HQS was developed to facilitate long cable runs of both 1PPS and Have Quick signals for ships or aircraft requiring these timing reference signals at multiple locations. With the tested, ruggedized enclosure the HQS can be placed in difficult environments and difficult to reach places on ships and aircraft. The unit may be configured for single ended or differential signals as required for the application (factory configured). Various power options are also available upon request. Designed for “fit and forget” operation, the compact, reliable module provides an elegant solution for distribution of the timing references from an embedded military GPS receiver.
