Jackson Labs Delivers Miniature GPSDO Frequency Standard
"FireFly" Is the World's Smallest GPS Disciplined Frequency Standard With Breakthrough Power Consumption and Higher Performance Than Competitive Solutions
| Source: Jackson Labs Technologies, Inc.
CAMPBELL, CA--(Marketwire - March 25, 2008) - Jackson Labs, a designer and manufacturer of
cutting-edge test & measurement equipment, today announced the availability
of its breakthrough product FireFly. FireFly is an extremely small Global
Positioning System Disciplined Oscillator (GPSDO) that has very low power
consumption, delivers long-term performance similar to Atomic Frequency
Standards, and supports mobile as well as stationary applications.
At only 1.25 Cubic Inches small, FireFly provides Stratum-1 long-term
performance of better than 10 parts per Trillion (1E-011) averaged over 24
hours when locked to GPS at less than 1/2 the size of the smallest
competitive products. The unit generates both an OCXO-driven 1PPS output
that is phase-synchronized to better than 100ns rms to UTC, and a
synchronized low-noise +12dBm 10MHz Sine-Wave Output. The FireFly is easy
to integrate in any application requiring a stable and accurate reference
clock, and can be monitored and controlled by an RS-232 port via
industry-standard SCPI Commands. FireFly has excellent phase noise,
superior spurious suppression, and very low jitter at a power consumption
of only 1.4W typically.
Jackson Labs Technologies, Inc. cofounder and President, Said Jackson,
noted that the FireFly has the smallest size and lowest power consumption
of any GPSDO on the market: "FireFly's high GPSDO performance and small
size is now for the first time available for mobile platforms such as
vehicle mounted and airborne applications. FireFly's very small format of
about 1/2 the size of a standard business card, its low power consumption,
and low price create an exceptional value proposition for a wide range of
applications."
Custom frequencies, Mil-Spec temperature ranges, and other non standard
requirements can be accomodated upon request. Prices for the FireFly start
at $495.00 each for 100 units and delivery is 6-8 weeks after receiving
order. To learn more about the FireFly visit the company's website at
