Stable frequency references for test systems and calibration labs.
The 908 and 909 are ideal for use in calibration laboratories where there is a specific need to calibrate a wide range of instruments, such as frequency counters and synthesizers. Unlike off-air frequency receivers, the 908 and 909 have excellent short-term stability that enables much faster frequency calibration.
If frequency standards are located in several departments, spread over a number of buildings, you will discover the portable 909 Rubidium standard offers a more cost-effective solution than a central reference with a costly distribution system.
- Accurate reference "Atomic clock" in automated test systems
- Affordable and very cost effective
- Designed for portability with optional carrying case
- No need for battery backup during transportation
- Fast warm-up time
The 908 and 909 Frequency Standards are designed for use as accurate reference clocks in automated test systems and as in-house frequency standards.
Because they require only a short warm-up time to reach specified stability, they can also be used as portable frequency standards.
The 909 includes an ultra-stable Rubidium timebase ("atomic clock"), while the 908 is built around a high-stability oven-controlled cut crystal oscillator. Both instruments provide five buffered 10 MHz outputs plus one 5 MHz output. Option 70 increases the number of 10 MHz outputs to ten.
Ideal for automated test (ATE) systems
Many production test systems, particularly in the telecommunications industry, require a stable external frequency clock as a reference. Depending on your needs either the 908 or the 909 can supply a stable frequency reference to up to 11 other instruments and testers, making them ideal for use in an ATE system. In addition there is a rack mounting kit available.
