CTS Corporation Announces New Ovenized Crystal Oscillator for "Low Phase Noise" Communications Equipment Applications

    SANDWICH, Ill.--April 1, 1999--CTS Reeves Frequency Products has added a new ovenized oscillator to its broad line of high performance oven controlled crystal oscillators (OCXO's). The CTS Model 119 OCXO offers excellent phase noise and frequency stability, at a price that sets a new standard for high performance oscillators.
    The oscillator is ideally suited for wireless base station applications, including GSM, TDMA and CDMA protocols. A voltage control input provides for phase locked control of the oscillator as a slave to primary timing reference sources. Model 119 is also useful as a reference in frequency synthesis applications where low phase noise is important.
    The maximum phase noise specification is -150 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz, and -160 dBc/Hz at the 10KHz intercept. Frequency stabilities to 10 parts per billion (ppb) from 0 degrees to 70 degrees C are available. Aging rates to less than 0.5 ppb per day, or 20 ppb per year, at 10 MHz are available. Housed in a rugged 2x2x1" metal hermetic package, the oscillator design and manufacturing processes produce excellent long-term reliability--a CTS trademark.
    CTS Model 119 is available in frequencies from 5.0 to 10.0 MHz. Pricing is a function of frequency and stability specifications and ranges from $150 to $195 at 100 piece quantities. Delivery lead time is 8-12 weeks depending upon oscillator frequency and design specifications. For detailed product information, or to discuss a specific application, contact your local CTS Reeves sales representative or call CTS Reeves Frequency Products at (815) 786-8411.
    CTS Reeves Frequency Products produces and sells a broad line of crystal, precision crystal, clock oscillator, VCXO, TCXO and OCXO products for application in the communications equipment, computer equipment and instruments and controls markets.
