Defence iQ’s 10th Military Radar Conference a Hit!

Posted on November 14, 2012 by gri@dmin

Defence iQ‘s Military Radar Conference, in its tenth year this November, regularly delivers on its promise of a high-level gathering of international military radar specialists from all sectors of the industry, offering their expertise and insight into the latest developments in design, manufacturing, procurement and integration of this fast-moving, ever-improving technologial wonder.

Greenray Industries and sister company AdTech Ceramics play key roles in Day One’s Agenda, leading lecture/discussion sessions on Quartz Crystal Oscillator Performance in Vibratory Environments, and Hermetic Packaging Solutions for High Rel Microelectronic Applications, respectively.

And while it may not have the breadth and numbers attendees of the month’s other electronics show in Munich, if military radar is your specialty, we’ll look forward to seeing you in London at the end of the month. In the meantime, “Hallo” from Munich – and we hope you’re enjoying these two marvelous technology exhibitions as much as we are.

Not Your Average TCXO

Posted on February 25, 2012 by gri@dmin

Featuring a rugged and compact 5 x 7mm package and a high performance crystal from our sister company Statek, our new T72 TCXO has been designed to deliver reliable frequency control and tight stability performance – with portable, battery-powered applications like GPS and WiMAX of particular interest.

Available from 10 to 50MHz, the T72 TCXO offers stability to ±0.2ppm (-40 to +85°C), g-sensitivity of 1 x 10-9, very low current consumption, and a phase noise floor of 159dBc/Hz (typ. 10MHz). Stability is not effected by vibration and temperature fluctuations, making it an ideal choice for exploration and tracking equipment applications in less than hospitable conditions. Shock level is available to 50,ooog.
