Ultra-low jitter Oscillators: Enhancing high performance applications

When it comes to demanding applications like radar systems, satellite communications, and high-speed networking, signal integrity and performance are critical. Engineers need components that not only meet tight specifications but exceed them, ensuring minimal distortion and interference in high-frequency designs. Golledge Electronics' ultra-low jitter oscillators are tailored for these high-performance environments, offering superior stability and reliability.

Jitter in oscillators refers to the short-term frequency fluctuations that occur around a signal's central frequency. In high-performance applications like radar and satellite communications, jitter directly impacts the system's signal accuracy and overall reliability. For example, in radar systems, phase noise can create false signals, reducing target resolution. In satellite communications, it affects both data integrity and signal-to-noise ratios, leading to communication errors.

Golledge Electronics' ultra-low jitter oscillators are designed to minimise this, providing a cleaner and more stable signal. This results in better system performance, lower error rates, and improved reliability across a range of applications.

Golledge Electronics offers the GXO-3306 series of ultra-low jitter oscillators. These oscillators are designed to deliver exceptional signal integrity, ensuring accurate and reliable performance in demanding environments.

The GXO-3306 series offers ultra-low jitter characteristics, making it an ideal choice for engineers looking to enhance performance in noise-sensitive systems.

The GXO-3306 series is a surface-mount crystal oscillator (SMD) specifically optimised for applications where phase jitter and frequency stability are critical. This series offers robust performance across a range of frequencies and environmental conditions, ensuring that engineers can rely on it in a wide variety of high-performance systems.
