The Golden VHF Bootstrap Phase Lock Oscillator (PLO) from Quantic Wenzel has an output frequency from 80 to 130 MHz (100 MHz standard). This ultra-low phase noise oscillator has a low-g sensitivity of better than 5e-11/g below 300 Hz offsets, and 5e-12/g sensitivity above 300 Hz when vibration isolation is included. It consists of two rugged OCXOs of the same frequency phase locked together. Special compensation techniques minimize vibration-induced phase noise by mechanically aligning the two oscillators and summing a compensation voltage with the electrical tuning to the oscillators.
The Golden VHF bootstrap oscillator assembly is an ideal solution for the most demanding airborne, mobile, and shipboard applications that require greatly improved dynamic phase noise under vibration. The oscillator with vibration isolation, is housed in a 5.86” x 3.7” x 1.18” machined case. An internal voltage regulator provides excellent power supply line rejection.
Quantic Wenzel can customize this product to better suit specific application requirements.
