Luff Research, an Ironwave Technologies company
Phase-Locked Dielectric Resonator Oscillators
Luff Research, an Ironwave Technologies company, introduces phase-locked dielectric resonator oscillators (PLDROs) as microwave frequency sources tailored to be used in high performance communication systems. The PLDROs generate spectrally clean signals that are phase locked to an external or internal reference. There is an option that when the external reference is not provided, the unit automatically switches to an oven-controlled high stable internal reference. PLDROs are very versatile and adaptable to specific requirements. Not only are these units small, operate on a single 5 V DC input, have excellent signal quality, these units offer excellent value and lead time.
