C3290-15.360

Oscillators are electronic devices used to create rapidly alternating signals of fixed frequency and amplitude. Typically, they have a square wave output which is more harmonically rich than a sine wave. The C3290-15.360 oscillator is a low jitter, low phase noise crystal oscillator designed for a wide range of applications.

This oscillator has a 15.360MHz harmonic frequency output, with a low phase-noise performance of -156 dBc/Hz at 10kHz offset. This low noise performance makes it a great choice for applications that require high frequency stability, such as ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio communications, microwave measurement systems, satellite communications, and signal processing.

The C3290-15.360 oscillator utilizes a quartz crystal as the resonant element, which vibrates when an electrical signal of the right frequency is applied. This vibration is then converted back into an electrical signal, resulting in an output frequency that is highly consistent and stable. The oscillator also contains several other components, including an amplifier and a hysteresis circuit, to ensure optimal signal stability.

The C3290-15.360 oscillator is designed to provide excellent accuracy and phase noise performance over a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. This ensures reliable operation in a variety of applications, from high-precision scientific instrumentation to industrial automation systems.

Overall, the C3290-15.360 oscillator is an ideal choice for applications that require stable frequency and excellent signal quality. Its low jitter, low phase noise performance make it ideal for microwave measurements, satellite communications, and signal processing applications.
