New SOSA Aligned ATR Enclosures
Utilizing the 3U OpenVPX form factor, the various chassis platforms typically support 100GbE or higher speeds. The new ARINC 404 5/8 size ATRs from Pixus feature customized I/O options and various SOSA slot profile options, including RF and optical interfaces through the backplane. For chassis management, the ATR has the option of implementing Pixus’ SOSA aligned Tier 3 mezzanine-based solution that sits behind the backplane. This saves a slot of space while acting as a health monitor and control module for the system.

AXTAL’s OCXOs
Q-Tech Corporation announced the availability of the AXIOM line of ultra-low noise oven-controlled crystal oscillators (OXCOs). Designed and manufactured by Q-Tech’s German affiliate, AXTAL, the benefits of the AXIOM OCXOs ultra-low phase noise (close-in and noise floor) are higher resolution for radar systems, better quality and more transmissible information for communications systems and improved accuracy and lower measurement limits for RF measurement systems. They also reduce jitter, an important consideration in these applications.
