Dual Frequency OCXO Reference Module

Source: NEL Frequency Controls, Inc.

NEL Frequency Controls is pleased to announce the release of the Dual Frequency Reference Module (DFRM). It consists of two ultra low phase noise OCXOs at 10 MHz and 100 MHz that are phase locked together to provide a fully characterized, 'plug and play' solution.  The DFRM provides technologists both low frequency (10MHz) and intermediary frequency (100MHz) references in their applications to frequency lock with each other. NEL offers this solution integrated in a module with optimized phase noise performance.

Now, RF and Microwave applications can have the best of both frequency references: outstanding close-in phase noise, stability, and aging of a precision 10 MHz OCXO, coupled with the superior phase noise on the floor of a 100 MHz OCXO.
