Ultra Low Phase Noise
Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator
OX-304 at 10 MHz
OX-304
OX-304
The OX-304 is an Ultra Low Phase Noise Ovenized Crystal Oscillator with a noise floor as low as -173 dBc/Hz in a compact 0.8” x 0.8”
enclosure. Designed for applications that demand extremely low noise sources, including the reference oscillator for a phase-locked
loop in the microwave spectrum. Custom frequencies available upon request.

Notes:
1. Contact factory for improved stabilities or additional product options including no pure tin options.
2. Certain codes available for sampling and short lead time requests. Please review website for codes.
3. Unless otherwise stated, all values are valid after warm-up time and refer to typical conditions for supply voltage, frequency
control voltage, load, and temperature (25°C).
4. Contact factory for other frequencies. Phase noise degrades for frequencies greater than 10 MHz.
5. Subject to technical modification.
6. Contact factory for availability.
