Valpey Fisher Corporation Introduces Integrated Subsystems for Demanding Frequency Control Applications.HOPKINTON, Mass. -- With more than 70 years of design and development experience in frequency control and timing, Valpey Fisher (AMEX AMEX See: American Stock Exchange : VPF VPF vascular permeability factor; see vascular endothelial growth factor, under factor. ) has leveraged its extensive knowledge base to launch a new technology platform - Integrated Subsystems. This new platform was launched today at the Microwave Technology and Techniques Symposium in Long Beach, CA. Rather than simply supply a discrete component, Valpey Fisher's integrated subsystem approach offers the design engineer a complete solution. The basic building block of every integrated subsystem features a very high frequency, very low phase noise reference oscillator oscillator Mechanical or electronic device that produces a back-and-forth periodic motion. A pendulum is a simple mechanical oscillator that swings with a constant amplitude, requiring the addition of energy at each swing only to compensate for the energy lost because of air . The subsystem is then designed with additional components to provide multifunctionality based on the customers unique requirements. By integrating multiple components on the block diagram into one complete subsystem, reliability will increase and cost will go down. The first product launched off of the Integrated Subsystem technology platform is a high frequency reference module that provides +20 dBm of RF output power and operates with extremely low phase noise (-90 dBc/Hz at 10Hz offset from the carrier, -170 dBc/Hz on the noise floor at 100MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. ), and meets stabilities as low as 0.1ppm. Consisting of a high precision OCXO OCXO Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator OCXO Oven Compensated Crystal Oscillator , power amplifier and an output filter/matching network, the entire subsystem fits neatly into a 2" x 2" x 0.75" package. From demanding military communications to high precision commercial applications, Valpey Fisher is intensely focused on bringing customers the most innovative value added Value Added The enhancement a company gives its product or service before offering the product to customers. Notes: This can either increase the products price or value. solutions to meet all of your precision timing needs.
