Low Power TCXO Featured in Microwaves & RF Magazine

Greenray’s new T72 Series TCXO received a thorough review and analysis by Jack Browne, a leading high-frequency electronics engineering expert, in the May 2012 issue of Microwaves & RF magazine.

The T72 TCXO is designed to satisfy critical timekeeping needs for mobile, portable electronics applications and features extremely low current/power consumption. The T72’s design and compact (5 x 7mm), rugged package anticipates battery-powered apps operating under wide temperature range and demanding environmental conditions.

Not Your Average TCXO

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.

IEEE 2012 International Frequency Control Symposium

Mark your calendars, everyone.

The IEEE 2012 International Frequency Control Symposium is coming to Baltimore, MD in May. The Symposium, which starts Tuesday, May 22, is being held at the Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel in the heart of Baltimore’s fantastic Inner Harbor complex.

On Monday, May 21, a series of frequency control Tutorials is being presented. The tutorials include both fundamental topics of frequency and timing geared to new practitioners in the field, as well as more advanced and specialized topics. The tutorials will provide useful information for beginners in the frequency control community, as well as those with extensive experience. Greenray designers have submitted an abstract for the Symposium – and hope to see you there.

Happy Anniversary!

With the arrival of 2011, Greenray entered our 50th year of operation as a manufacturer of high performance frequency control products. And we couldn’t be more happy about achieving that milestone. On behalf of our employees, our customers and partners worldwide, thank you for your support and participation in our continued success.

Founded in 1961 by Raymond Green, Greenray Industries early years focused primarily on direct sales to the military. Early oscillator products, which included LC (coil capacitor) and RC (resistor capacitor) oscillators – and did not utilize quartz crystals – were tune-able over a broad band range but did not approach modern standards for stability and (low) noise performance. In addition to oscillators, the company designed and manufactured various sub-systems including amplifiers, multipliers and bandpass filters, among others.

Greenray has, over the years, played a key role in the evolution of frequency control devices toward higher stability, lower noise, and compact size. In addition, the company has expanded design and manufacturing capabilities to support the needs of new and emerging markets including SATCOM, GPS, wired and wireless communications, and instrumentation.

Today Greenray Industries is a market leader in precision, high reliability TCXOs, and designs and manufactures state-of-the-art, quartz-based oscillators for use in wireless, wired telephony, aerospace, military, satellite, GPS and other communications applications. Detailed information about Greenray Industries is available at www.greenrayindustries.com.
