Phase Locked Oscillator - 100 MHz

The Orbital Phase Locked Oscillator (PLO) is designed for satellite communications systems requiring extremely accurate timing and ultra-low phase noise. By phase-locking to a station 10 MHz reference, the PLO filters extraneous signals and significantly reduces system phase noise, enabling reliable operation with high-order modulation and coding schemes. In locking to the 10 MHz reference, it generates 2 (or 6) 100 MHz outputs. 

The PLO allows a single station reference clock to be distributed across non-collocated equipment, such as modems and frequency converters, while maintaining or improving overall clock integrity. This ensures coherent system timing across complex ground architectures without phase noise degradation. 

Features:

• Phase-locks to a 10 MHz station reference to reduce system phase noise
• Available with 2-port or 6-port integrated 10 MHz splitter
• Maintains clock integrity for high-order ModCods (e.g., DVB-S2X)
• Supports redundant reference distribution for increased system resilience
• Rugged, EMI-minimized, weather-resistant anodized enclosure

Applications:

• Satellite ground stations requiring ultra-low phase noise timing
• Teleports and gateways with distributed RF equipment
• Systems using high-order modulation and coding schemes
• Commercial, government, and defence
