Combining oven technology with Rakon’s proprietary ultra-stable temperature compensation, Mercury delivers excellent frequency stabilities in two reflowable surface mount packages: RFPO40 (9.0 x 7.0 mm) and RFPO50 (14.0 x 9.0 mm). DIL versions are also available. Short term ageing of less than ±5 ppb per day is achievable with a frequency versus temperature performance of down to ±10 ppb. The highly integrated oven design ensures short warm up times with a power consumption of only 350 mW at room temperature. Mercury has superb phase noise of -148dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset (for a 20 MHz oscillator).
Rakon’s Mercury meets the stringent requirements for small cells, base stations, LTE and LTE-Advanced applications. It is also suitable for use in a variety of other applications including broadcasting, microwave links, instrumentation, satellite communications, network timing and synchronization and IP timing.
