Small Cells Cost Effective and High Performance Oscillators for Small Cells Rakon’s OCXOs and ultra-stable TCXOs meet the frequency and timing requirements of small cell designers. Rakon oscillators independently maintain time and frequency for extended periods, providing better service availability at the network edge. Rakon Oscillators for Small Cells Rakon’s patented tilt compensation technology ensures the oscillator’s stability specification is sustained throughout the equipment’s life. Low frequency drift ensures that the product maintains its specified performance over a wide range of environmental situations. Rakon’s portfolio of SMD OCXOs and ultra-stable TCXOs can provide guaranteed holdover from 24 hours to 10 days. Rakon has a range of oscillators that combine holdover and phase-noise parameters optimised for the performance and cost requirements of small cell applications. OCXO Using state of the art ASIC design techniques, Rakon has produced the world’s first OCXO on a single piece of silicon – the Mercury™ OCXO. The IC-based OCXO provides reduced footprints and lower cost solutions . Conventional OCXO: for optimum performance over wide temperature ranges. M ercury™ OCXO: ultra compact Mercury™ OCXO provides excellent frequency stability over temperature and ultra low power consumption. These performance characteristics are especially important for equipment that is powered over Ethernet. The oscillator’s excellent phase noise performance makes it the perfect choice for LTE small cell applications where a high performance and cost effective solution is required. TCXO P luto+TM is simply the best performing TCXO in the world. It is based on the original Pluto technology: technology designed into millions of small cell and other timing and synchronisation sockets globally. With superb frequency versus temperature and slope performance, its ‘Best-In-Class’ phase noise performance meets the requirements of LTE RF transceivers. Pluto+ is the first choice when power consumption, space and cost are at a premium. VCXO, XO and Crystals T o address the rest of the functionality required in small cells, Rakon offers a comprehensive range of VCXO, XO and Crystals. This includes low-cost commercial clock oscillators for computational processors through to low-noise VCXO and XO for WiFi and high speed data communications (e.g. PCI Express, Ethernet, XAUI optical, etc).
