Rubidium Frequency Standard
Rubidium frequency standards (rubidium standards) delivering stable 10 MHz and 1PPS references for laboratories, telecom and calibration. Supplied by Vikronix in Scandinavia.
What is a rubidium frequency standard?
A rubidium frequency standard, often called a rubidium standard, is a complete instrument, usually a 1U rack unit, built around a rubidium oscillator. It delivers stable reference outputs, typically 10 MHz and 1PPS, to a laboratory or a system that needs a common master reference.
Typical applications
- Laboratory and calibration references
- Telecom and broadcast timing
- Test systems that need a shared reference
Rubidium or GPSDO?
A rubidium frequency standard gives very long holdover and works without a satellite signal. If you need traceability to GNSS time, see GPS disciplined oscillators (GPSDO) or GPS disciplined rubidium references.
Vikronix supplies rubidium frequency standards from Quartzlock, which has more than 50 years of experience in time and frequency. Request a quote for your application.
