The base stations form the core of today’s GSM networks and the different UMTS networks of tomorrow. They provide the synchronization of voice and data that is needed in an operational mobile cellular system. The most critical crystal oscillator in a base station is the OCXO. Find out about the detailed performance requirements here.

 

Quartz Pro x-act targeted for 3rd generation base stations

It's more stable and smaller than other OCXOs in the same price range. The Quartz Pro x-act is targeted for 3rd generation base stations that require precize synchronization and high performance crystal oscillators. The Quartz Pro x-act is an oscillator that meets the most important performance requirements of a mobile base station;

         * Excellent long-term stability (low aging)

         * Low phase noise

         * Superior retrace characteristics

         * Small size ( 25,4 X 25,4 X 10,5/11,2/14 mm)

A flexible product platform, the Quartz Pro x-act can be easily adapted to a variety of frequencies cutting development time and cost. Frequency range is 2 to 65 MHz. Voltage supply can be chosen to 5, 9 or 12V. Output signal alternatives are Sine, HCMOS, and LVMOS.
