FS725 — Benchtop rubidium frequency standard

Product catalog summary
Overview: The FS725 is a benchtop rubidium frequency standard designed by Stanford Research Systems. It integrates a rubidium oscillator, low-noise AC power supply, and distribution amplifiers in a compact chassis, providing stable and reliable performance suitable for calibration and R&D laboratories.
Specifications: The FS725 offers 10 MHz and 5 MHz outputs with ultra-low phase noise (<−130 dBc/Hz at 10 Hz) and a 1 pps input/output for GPS synchronization. It features a 20-year aging of less than 0.005 ppm and a rubidium oscillator MTBF of over 200,000 hours. The device can be phase-locked to an external 1 pps reference, achieving Stratum 1 performance.
Outputs: The FS725 provides two 10 MHz and one 5 MHz sine outputs, along with a 1 pps pulse output. The amplitude is 0.5 Vrms with a 1 pps pulse amplitude of 2.5 V into 50 Ω or 5 V into High-Z loads. The phase noise is exceptionally low, and the device maintains high accuracy and stability over time.
Connectivity and Control: An RS-232 interface allows communication with the rubidium oscillator, enabling monitoring and control via Windows software. The device includes two alarm relays indicating the status of the rubidium oscillator lock state and synchronization to an external 1 pps input.
Environmental and General Features: The FS725 operates within a temperature range of +10 °C to +40 °C and can be stored between –55 °C to +85 °C. It supports AC power inputs of 90 to 132 VAC or 175 to 264 VAC, 47 to 63 Hz, and consumes 50 W. The device dimensions are 8.5" × 3.5" × 13" and it weighs 9 lbs. A one-year warranty covers parts and labor for defects in materials and workmanship.
Options and Pricing: The base price for the FS725 is $2995. Optional distribution amplifiers are available, providing additional outputs at varying costs: Option 01 ($495), Option 02 ($995), and Option 03 ($1495). Rack mount kits are also available for $100 each.

FS725 — Benchtop rubidium frequency standard-1

Frequency Standards FS725 — Benchtop rubidium frequency standard FS725 Rubidium Frequency Standard · 10 MHz and 5 MHz outputs · 1 pps input and output for GPS synchronization · 20 year aging less than 0.005 ppm · Ultra-low phase noise (<−130 dBc/Hz at 10 Hz) · Built-in distribution amplifiers (up to 22 outputs) · RS-232 computer interface · Two status alarm relays The FS725 integrates a rubidium oscillator (SRS model PRS10), a low-noise AC power supply, and distribution amplifiers in a compact, half-width 2U chassis. It provides stable and reliable performance with an estimated 20 year aging of less than 5 × 10–9, and a demonstrated rubidium oscillator MTBF of over 200,000 hours. The FS725 is an ideal instrument for calibration and R&D laboratories, or any application requiring a precision frequency standard. There are two 10 MHz and one 5 MHz outputs with exceptionally low phase noise (–130 dBc/Hz at 10 Hz offset) and one second Allan variance (<2 × 10–11). The FS725 can be phase-locked to an external 1 pps reference (like GPS) providing Stratum 1 performance. A 1 pps output is also provided that has less than 1 ns of jitter, and may be set with 1 ns resolution. Up to three internal distribution modules can be added to the FS725. Each module has four 10 MHz outputs, one 5 MHz output, and one 1 pps output, all with the same low phase noise, harmonic distortion and jitter. An RS-232 interface allows direct communication with the rubidium oscillator. Using the provided Windows software, you can easily monitor and control 1 pps timing, and determine the instrument’s operational status. There are two alarm relays that indicate the status of the rubidium oscillator lock state and synchronization to an external 1 pps input. The relays are SPDT, providing both normally-open and normally-closed contacts. Stanford Research Systems
