Update on IQD’s high performance rubidium oscillator IQRB-2IQRB-2 rubidium oscillator handbook available now summarising key test data

IQD is pleased to announce that the last piece of its extended rubidium portfolio has been updated and equipped with additional material: the IQRB-2.

The IQRB-2 fills the gap between the IQRB-1 and the IQRB-3; the IQRB-1 delivers a superb price performance ratio, whereas the IQRB-3 offers an exceptional phase noise performance paired with a 1 PPS synchronisation. The IQRB-2 offers a superb phase noise close to the IQRB-3 performance: a close in phase noise of -108 dBc/Hz @ 1 Hz and a noise floor of -158 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz and below. Although it does not offer a 1 PPS synchronisation, it is available at a more competitive price vs. the IQRB-3. With a short term stability of 0.0075 ppb @ Tau = 100 s and an ageing performance of a maximum of 0.05 ppb per month, the IQRB-2 is still a perfect match for various time and frequency synchronisation applications.

IQD is now able to provide a comprehensive handbook summarising tests undertaken: from temperature stability and short term stability to supply pushing and more.
