Product Description
OCXO Space Plus is designed for Space Clocks, Navigation and Positioning Systems and is
used in such applications as GPS receivers, digital cards, board calculators, down and up
converters, synthesizers.
This frequency source is featured by remarkable overall frequency stability vs. temperature range up to +/-
0.5ppb under vacuum, +/- 20 ppb per year, power consumption at steady state of 2W under vacuum, and weight
of 120g. OCXOs.
Space Plus (50x50x30mm) is manufactured in accordance with
MIL-PRF-55310 (Class 1, type 4 & type 6, level S).
