The PLO NS LN is a part of Rakon’s Phase Locked Oscillator (PLO) series featuring superior low phase noise performance. This PLO delivers
ultra-stable frequency with excellent close-in phase noise and floor noise. Precise frequency stability and low phase noise make the device
suitable for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites and satellite constellations where stable frequency sources are critical. Output frequencies of
the PLO NS LN are available from 10 to 120 MHz with a lifetime of up to 12 years. LEO Broadband, GNSS and Earth Observation are the
typical applications targeted by this PLO.
A 100 MHz-output low noise NewSpace PLO can be customised by taking an external 10 MHz reference as its input frequency. The ultralow phase noise discrete Phase Lock Loop (PLL) oscillator delivers stable frequency signals and is a state-of-the-art frequency source
generator. This PLO can be customised to have several outputs, a higher output level, or a more stable internal reference. It is a costeffective solution with short lead times. The test and screening flow can be tailored according to customer requirements to reduce cost
and lead time.
