Screening Options

An EMXO is a unique miniaturized oven controlled oscillator in an evacuated enclosure. This design provides a very small physical size, low profile, low power consumption, excellent aging performance and tight temperature stabilities.

AN OCXO is either an XO or VCXO combined with an oven maintaining the crystal unit at a precise temperature over the operating temperature range. The OCXO is the most accurate of all crystal oscillators.
