Frequency Standards - Rubidium

A10-Y

The Quartzlock model A10-Y is an OEM, high-performance, ultra low noise, rubidium oscillator frequency reference which uses Quartzlock phase-locked loop (PLL) and direct digital synthesis (DDS) clean-up loop technology. It has a noise floor of -172 dBc/Hz.

Typical applications include but not restricted to Security, Low noise instrumentation reference, Radar navigation, RF & Microwave test solutions and Secure communications.

The use of ULN rubidium oscillators enables Weak signal detection, Low error rates, Higher radar sensitivity and Higher definition in MRI imaging systems.

1 This specification is preliminary. Recommended test equipment – Quartzlock model A7-MX bb signal analyser with reference comparable to DUT; “clean” analog power supply. It’s assumed that phase noise test is performed under static conditions (no vibration), in still air, and care is taken for minimizing EMI.
