Symmetricom offers Rb oscillator for military communications

The ruggedized 8200 rubidium oscillator from Symmetricom is intended for ground tactical, shipboard, and airborne communication applications requiring superior frequency stability under diverse environmental conditions.
Housed in a small, low-profile package that is less than 1.0-in. high, the standard-performance 8200 provides both 10-MHz and 1-pps outputs, along with a 1-pps input for interfacing with a GPS receiver or other primary standard. Optional configurations support additional outputs or custom outputs.
A low-noise version of the oscillator, the 8200LN, also includes 10-MHz and 1-pps outputs, but provides a 30-dB improvement in close-in phase noise over the standard version. When equipped with a low-g-sensitivity crystal, the 8200LN can maintain low phase noise performance over a wide range of vibration profiles.
Hermetic sealing and shock and vibration hardening enable the oscillator to operate over a wide range of environmental conditions with minimal impact on performance.
