Ultra-Low Phase Noise OCXO | TKD

TKD Ultra-Low Phase Noise OCXO oscillators combine oven control with premium resonator design to deliver the cleanest possible signal, ideal for radar, satellite ground stations, atomic-clock systems and high-end test equipment. Exceptional noise floors support the most demanding RF references.

Ranges of Ultra-Low Phase Noise OCXO

These precision oscillators combine oven-controlled stability with minimized phase noise, delivering a clean reference for noise-critical systems. Compact packages serve radar, EW, satellite communications, metrology and advanced instrumentation.

Reducing Phase Noise in OCXO Frequency Sources

Noise mechanisms

Phase noise in OCXOs comes from the oscillator loop, buffer and supply; high-Q crystals and low-noise loop design minimize each contributor.

Crystal selection

Premium blanks with high Q and low stress provide the lowest achievable noise floor for the carrier frequency.

Measurement

Phase noise is characterized at multiple offsets (e.g. 1 Hz to 10 MHz); compare specifications at the offsets your system cares about.

Low-Noise Power and Layout Considerations for Precision OCXO

Dedicated LDO

Power the OCXO from an ultra-low-noise LDO with remote sensing if available, isolating it from digital switching noise.

Grounding

Use a star or isolated ground for the OCXO and keep its return path separate from high-current digital returns.

Shielding

A grounded shield around the OCXO and clean layout away from clock and data buses preserve the low noise floor.
