NEL Frequency Controls Develops Dual Frequency OCXO Reference Module
Precision Ultra Low Phase Noise O-CDF Series Consists of 2 OCXOs at 10 and 100 MHz
NEL Frequency Controls is pleased to announce the release of the Dual Frequency Reference Module (DFRM). The new module 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 customers both low frequency (10 MHz) and intermediary frequency (100 MHz) references in their applications to frequency lock with each other. This solution is integrated in a module with optimized phase noise performance. The DFRM is being introduced at the 60th International Microwave Symposium in Montreal, Canada, June 17 through June 22.
“Our customers need both the 10 MHz and 100 MHz references to lock with each other”, states Chuck Ulland, Vice President of Sales Marketing at NEL Frequency Controls. “With the DFRM, customers now get the best performance features of both frequency references in one package - outstanding close-in phase noise, stability, and aging of a 10 MHz OCXO coupled with the superior phase noise on the floor of a 100 MHz OCXO.”
