Space Oscillators

Narda-MITEQ develops high-performance, space-qualified RF and microwave oscillators engineered to provide stable, low-noise frequency generation for demanding spaceborne applications. Our SPLO Series phase-locked sources offer fixed-frequency operation from 40 MHz to 15 GHz, delivering excellent phase noise and stable frequency performance in a compact, lightweight package.

Designed for reliable operation in harsh space environments, these oscillators feature low G-sensitivity, radiation tolerance of 20-30 kRad total dose, and the flexibility to operate using either an external frequency reference or an internal temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) with 1 PPM stability. With multiple screening options, 100% burn-in, and temperature testing, our solutions address the specialized frequency stability and reliability requirements of spaceflight systems.

Narda-MITEQ space-qualified oscillators are designed for integration into mission-critical applications supporting satellite communications (SATCOM), aerospace, military and defense, and advanced spaceborne electronic systems. Providing stable frequency references and precision signal generation, our oscillator technologies support satellite payloads, spacecraft communication systems, RF and microwave signal processing, and other applications requiring dependable frequency stability under demanding environmental conditions.
