Rubidium Oscillators and Rubidium Frequency Standards

Precision Test Systems manufacturer and supplies many different types of rubidium oscillators.  Rubidium oscillators are typically 30 - 100  times more stable than the best crystal oscillators but often don’t cost much more.  Outputs can be Sinewave, Squarewave (TTL, ECL, CMOS levels).  Different frequencies like 1 pps or any frequency to 100 MHz.

Applications 

• UMTS and CDMA Base Stations
• Satellite, Communication and Navigation Systems
• General Workshop frequency standard
• Replacement for expensive low ageing crystal oscillators

Options

Precision Test Systems will gladly design bespoke rubidium oscillators and rubidium frequency standards.  Some options that with have been asked for include:

• External locking input,  Either 1 pps, 5 MHz or 10 MHz with automatic switchover
• Redundant rubidium systems
• Low voltage types.
• Small size
• Different frequency output, e.g. 5 MHz, 2.048 MHz, 13 MHz, 15 MHz, 150 MHz.
• Vibration insensitive cases  
• GPS Receiver integrated into module
• Replacement for expensive low ageing crystal oscillators
