The Symphony of Oscillators
Posted: 19th September 2023
In this imaginitively titled webinar: ' The Symphony of Oscillators: Harmonizing Signals for Success ' we learn how best-practice PCB design can reduce unwanted phase noise. Frequency products are the heartbeat of most electronic circuits and play a crucial role in their symphony. However, if there is something we do not want in our electronic symphony then it is NOISE!… Read More

IQD presents ICPT-1 Atomic Clock
Posted: 7th June 2023
IQD present ICPT-1, its chip scale atomic clock (CSAC). The ICPT-1 uses the Coherent Population Trap (CPT) method to obtain a very stable frequency and is the perfect addition to IQD’s rubidium oscillator portfolio. While common rubidium oscillators detect the atomic transition with the help of a rubidium discharge lamp (Rb lamp), the ICPT-1 uses a laser to induce… Read More
We are 50 - IQD Frequency Products Limited celebrates 50 years in business
Posted: 24th May 2023
IQD can trace its origins in Crewkerne to the end of 1973, when entrepreneur Hugh Robinson took his young company Interface International into the quartz crystal business servicing a contract for low frequency crystals in filters for FDM equipment, with Cable & Wireless. Operating from an office in Market Street, Crewkerne, Somerset, rent was just £1 per week and much of… Read More

IQD extends range of -40 to 125°C crystals to meet the demands of new product designs
Posted: 27th March 2023
Components capable of withstanding high operating temperatures are increasingly in demand, and it is not just by engineers working on the traditional high temperature or extreme applications, for example downhole. This trend is partly driven by IC manufacturers, who often design one chipset suitable for both industrial and automotive applications, and by the increased… Read More
Extended Temperature Range for TCXOs in Extreme Conditions
Posted: 9th February 2023
IQD’s IQXT-200 and IQXT-210 TCXOs now offer an extended operating temperature range of -40 to 105°C with exceptionally tight stability. This wide temperature range is particularly appropriate for applications that are exposed to extreme environments and high temperatures such as portable radio systems for fire fighters, oil & gas industries and IoT. However, it is not… Read More
