For many applications, the phase noise of a Rubidium reference is not acceptable. The NR2310D-R-O incorporates a low noise OCXO that is disciplined to the Rubidium reference. This product also adds a 26 channel GNSS receiver that brings the long-term stability of GNSS. The NR2310D-ROG brings the best of three timing technologies together- the low phase noise of the OCXO, excellent holdover stability of Rubidium and the long-term stability of GNSS locking. Ten channels typically meets the needs of most systems eliminating the need for a distribution amplifier and minimizing noise degradation. All channels are continuously monitored and displayed locally and accessible via RS232 or Ethernet.

The phase noise for a standard Rubidium source is not acceptable for some applications. Our low noise Rubidium frequency reference incorporates a low noise OCXO that is locked to the Rubidium source. This combination gives you the best of two technologies – the stability of Rubidium and the low noise of an OCXO. This single rack unit chassis, having ten channels, frequently meets the needs of complex systems and often eliminates the need for a distribution amplifier.

A low cost reference featuring the stability of Rubidium (< 1 ppb/year). In many applications, an OCXO does not have the stability required and GNSS locking is not an option. This reference offers excellent stability where cost is a major driver and the higher phase noise of Rubidium is acceptable. If low phase is also required see our NR2310D-RO that adds a low phase noise OCXO to improve phase noise. The ten channel configuration yields a better phase noise and skewing than a reference and a separate distribution amplifier. Skewing for the ten channels is less than 5 ns. This single rack unit chassis, having ten channels, frequently meets the needs of complex systems and often eliminates the need for a distribution amplifier.

The NR6720-O/G/A6 features extremely low frequency jitter despite being GNSS-locked. GNSS-locking brings a long-term stability to an OCXO that is difficult to match. Instead of an accuracy of 50 ppb/year – accuracies of ~E-12 are readily achieved. However, locking an OCXO to the GNSS presents its own set of problems. The timing information from the GNSS is burdened with all the noise one would expect from a RF link – multi-path, reflections, etc. Long-term stability is enhanced frequently at the expense of “close-in” stability. Low frequency components from the RF link are introduced to the OCXO, often degrading the Allan Deviation of the OCXO. The NR6720-O/G/A6 uses a unique crystal and proprietary control loop to minimize “close-in” degradation while securing long-term stability. The unit also features very low PPS pulse-to- pulse jitter. Instead of the +- 10 ns of PPS jitter from the receiver, the PPS stabilizer reduces PPS jitter to under 800 ps.
