GPS-disciplined quartz oscillators are used as alternatives for cesium and hydrogen maser systems for high precision frequency references.
GPS-based systems are self-traceable and self-calibrating frequency references to calibrate frequency counters, signal generators, and other frequency-based instruments.
Spectracom offers frequency reference products that routinely benefit standards labs, calibration labs, development labs, factory test departments, and electronic maintenance shops. Equipment manufacturers utilize our products in development and production test facilities to ensure accurate performance of their own goods. We provide quartz and rubidium-locked oscillators to offer the degree of accuracy you need even in the event of GPS signal loss.
Spectracom’s distribution amplifiers provide precise delivery of frequency references and telecommunication timing signals throughout a facility. Our distribution amplifier systems will take a GPS frequency standard signal, typically a 10MHz frequency reference, and provide frequency distribution to equipment for laboratory and manufacturing testing equipment. Frequency synthesizers and frequency converters are also available to provide frequencies other than 10 MHz.
