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.
