Precision Frequency Control and Timing from PLDROs

Quantic MWD’s (Microwave Dynamics) new Whisper Series phase-locked dielectric resonator oscillators (PLDROs) provide precision frequency control and timing for demanding RF and microwave applications. Engineered for exceptional frequency stability and ultra-low phase noise, these oscillators operate across X-Band and Ku-Band frequencies from 8 to 18 GHz. They offer fully customizable options, including phase-locked loops, frequency tuning and external reference pairing with Quantic Wenzel’s oven-controlled crystal oscillators (OCXOs).

With ruggedized and space-qualified versions available, Whisper Series PLDROs perform reliably in extreme environments, making them ideal for radar, satellite communications, test equipment and defense applications.
