TIMEKEEPER OCXO - 4 to 24 MHz Crystal Oscillators

Available from 4 to 24 MHz, the Timekeeper provides excellent stability with very low noise in an industry standard package. Thick foam insulation reduces the power consumption and buffers the crystal from temperature changes. SMA connectors and solder pins are standard. Both AT and SC-cut crystals are available.

ULTRA LOW NOISE and ULTRA LOW NOISE PLUS

The Ultra-Low Noise oscillators provide the lowest phase noise floor available at frequencies from 4 to 500 MHz. Packaged in small 1.75 x 2.94 x 1" cans, the "ULN" series is available for PCB and panel mounting. Measurements at NIST in Boulder, Colorado confirm phase noise performance to -180 dBc at 20 kHz for selected 5 and 100 MHz oscillators. Ultra-Low Noise Plus oscillators include multipliers extending the frequency range to 500 MHz. Phase noise is degraded typically 2 dB more than the theoretical 20 log N, where N is the multiplication factor.
