Embedded Atomic Oscillators

Utilize the most accurate time scales in the world for your mobile application with our GPS-2700 GNSS disciplined oscillator. This GNSS disciplined oscillator integrates our CSAC with a high-performance GNSS receiver to provide built-in synchronization with excellent holdover for stability in any type of environment. It comes with features such as low power, temperature stability and a fast warm-up that make it an excellent choice for use in unmanned aerial vehicles, tactical radios and other demanding applications.

The number and variety of LEO space applications for small satellites is growing quickly with many commercial, scientific and defense payloads such as alternative PNT, optical time transfer, inter-satellite communications, RF geolocation, earth observation and interferometry requiring low Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) precision timing solutions. The space Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC) is the industry’s first commercially available radiation-tolerant CSAC ideally suited to providing the accuracy and stability of atomic clock technology while achieving significant breakthroughs in reduced SWaP.

Sensors employed in undersea applications rely on precise timing to be effective. However, because time from GNSS is unavailable underwater, these sensors have generally relied on Oven-Controlled Crystal Oscillators (OCXOs) for stable and accurate time stamping within the sensor. Now, these sensors have a better option: our CSAC. Compared to OCXOs, our CSAC maintains higher accuracy for longer periods of time, uses less power and maintains a more stable frequency despite the wide variations in temperature that these sensors encounter.
