OCVCXO Designed For Heavy Vibration

Nov. 12, 2009

Model NV45AD1725 is an oven-controlled, voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (OCVCXO) from Bliley Technologies that provides 100 MHz with thermal stability of +/-50 PPB. It provides low-gravitational-force sensitivity with rating of 5 x 10-10 per g/axis and is ideal for high-frequency systems subject to high vibration and harsh environmental effects. The oscillator holds harmonics to -30 dBc and spurious levels to no more than -80 dBc. Available in several options, the phase noise is as good as -100 dBc/Hz offset 10 Hz from the carrier and -155 dBc/Hz offset 1 kHz from the carrier. The OCVCXO is available in leaded and RoHS versions and measures 1.00 x 1.00 x 0.46 in. It is ideal for microwave communication, radar, and navigation systems.
