Rakon TCXO: Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillators
Advertisement
Rakon manufactures TCXOs (Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillators). These TCXOs are often used as a stable frequency source for Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) circuits.
Rakon TCXO modules serve as temperature-compensated crystal oscillators. Due to their high stability, Rakon TCXOs find applications in diverse fields such as:
- Defense
- GPS
- Telecommunications
- Emergency beacons
- Power management
- High-performance applications (e.g., satellite, avionics)
Rakon manufactures TCXOs according to specific application requirements in RF, wireless, and other industries.
These TCXO devices are manufactured per MIL-PRF-55310 standard specifications. Key features of Rakon TCXOs include:
- Stability up to +/-1.5 ppm
- Temperature range from -40°C to +85°C
- Low power consumption
- Excellent phase noise
- Miniature size
Rakon also manufactures OCXO (Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator) modules, which are often used in satellite manufacturing. These OCXOs achieve ultra-low phase noise in the range of -160 dBc/Hz to -180 dBc/Hz.
