CTS Develops OCXO With Enhanced Stability For LTE

As Well as Reducing Power Consumption and Aging

CTS Electronic Components, Incorporated announces development of Model 122, an oven controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO), which combines the advantage of the double-oven and internal heated resonator (IHR) technologies to reduce power consumption and significantly enhance stability performance suitable for long-term evolution (LTE) applications.

Model 122 is an ultra-high stability OCXO. The oscillator utilizes the doubleoven and IHR technologies to  provide less than 1W power consumption. It is also capable of holding high frequency stability to ±0.2ppb over -10ºC to +60ºC and ±0.2ppb/day aging (for 10MHz). The device is housed in a 20 x 20 mm packaging. Currently, frequencies are available from 8MHz to 100MHz. Typical applications for this part includes but not limited to rubidium standard replacement, GPS disciplined frequency standards, instrumentation, and communication systems.

For more information on the Model 122 and other OCXOs that offer high performance and low power solutions in both standard and customized configurations, please contact your local CTS Sales Representative or supporting CTS Inside Sales Representative or visit http://www.ctscorp.com/components.
