Low-Power OCXOs Take Flight in LEOS Systems (.PDF Download)

Low-Power OCXOs Take Flight in LEOS Systems (.PDF Download)

Running out of power in a satellite can be costly, since changing batteries is no simple matter. Fortunately, advances made by Bliley Technologies on its Iris line of oven-controlled crystal oscillators (OCXOs) have instilled the traditional stability of OCXOs without the traditionally high power consumption.

Available with sinewave or HCMOS-level outputs, the product family includes high radiation tolerance, low phase noise, and excellent acceleration sensitivity with output frequencies reaching 100 MHz. The Iris OCXOs are designed for long running times in low-Earth-orbit satellites (LEOS) or any application where power consumption is a concern, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
