Rubidium Oscillators

Exceptional Accuracy

The exceptional accuracy of Rubidium Oscillators is attributed to the combination of both an OCXO and a physics package within the unit. The physics package operates on the principle of transitions in the energy levels of Rubidium gas, ensuring a continuous check on the frequency of the quartz oscillator over an extended timespan.

Short-term stability is provided by an OCXO locked to the rubidium physics package. The rubidium gas, stimulated by microwave RF at a particular frequency, provides further long-term frequency stability qualities.
