Pascall OCXO’s are designed to meet the increasing demand for high
performance reference oscillators. Oven controlled SC-cut crystals are
used to give good temperature stability combined with the lowest
possible phase noise.
The Pascall OCXO series has already established itself as the industry
leader in phase noise performance.
The ‘NEW OCXOF’ Series offers the same very low close-in phase
noise combined with even lower noise floor and higher output power.
Typical applications:
Low noise Frequency Multipliers
Phase noise test systems
High performance synthesisers
Radar & EW
