Timing Modules Tout Ultra-Low Noise Operation
Q-Tech recently introduced the AXTAL GHz Series of high-performance/ultra-low noise/high-frequency crystal oscillators and modules to the U.S. market, made by the company's recently acquired European affiliate. The ultra-low phase noise (close-in and noise floor) crystal-controlled sources serve applications such as military, aviation, and space. They offer higher resolution and accuracy in radar systems, better performance in communications systems, and higher accuracy with a lower measurement limit in RF measurement systems.
Provided in a wide variety of crystal-oscillator types, from SAW clocks to customized versions of ultra-low noise OCXOs for odd frequencies, as well as modules with multiple outputs, the GHz Series also improves performance in transponders, synthesizers, and RF measurement equipment.
