Q-Tech Corporation, a leading global supplier of space-qualified crystal oscillators and high performance frequency control systems, announces the availability of the AXTAL AX9000 series. This series offers 10 MHz ultra-low noise frequency references with very high OCXO, GPS-disciplined OCXO or Rubidium stability down to 10 to 13.

The AXTAL distribution amplifier series AXDA9000 allows ultra-low noise and low jitter distribution of the 10 MHz and 1 PPS reference signals The standalone or combined systems are used in a variety of complex systems including atomic clocks, time servers, frequency combs and others.

The frequency references AXIOM9000 (OCXO), AXGPS9000 (GPS-disciplined OCXO) and AXRB9000 (Rubidium) as well as the distribution amplifiers AXDA9000/9100 are all packaged in 1U, 19-inch rack units. The Ultra-Low Noise Distribution Amplifier AXDA9000 provides up to 16 fully isolated 10 MHz outputs and the AXDA9100 is its counterpart for very low jitter 1 PPS distribution.

“Unlike other distribution amplifiers in this class, the AXDA9000 is a selective and not a broadband amplifier, resulting in lower phase noise,” said Henry Halang, AXTAL’s managing director. “Combined with the supreme AX9000 frequency references, these units are an exceptional solution to a range of applications requiring multiple, isolated, accurate and stable timing sources.”

“The acquisition of AXTAL has added significantly to the range of frequency control products we offer,” said Scott Sentz, Q-Tech’s director of sales and marketing. “Products like the AXIOM9000 and AXDA9000 are an example of AXTAL’s system integration expertise.”
