GPS

Rakon is the world leader of GPS crystals and TCXOs, with over 50% share of the world market. The first to develop the 0.5pmm TCXO, Rakon continues to excel at taking high precision, niche technology and transforming this into high volume cost effective solutions, while still maintaining the highest performance and quality. Rakon products are the default standard for consumer GPS applications.

• TCXOs down to 2.0 x 1.6mm in size, offering the 'Rakon Level' of performance
• The GRM8650: a complete front end radio module

Small Cells

Rakon’s low cost high stability TCXOs and OCXOs solve the frequency and timing requirements faced by small cell designers.  Rakon can ensure the best performance and cost solution for your system requirements. Rakon’s range of ultra-stable TCXOs and low cost SMD OCXOs provides guaranteed holdover from 24 hours to 12 days.

Pluto - the best performing TCXO in the world
Low phase noise oscillators (RFPT750, RTX-A)
Mercury OCXO – a world first, an ultra compact OCXO on a single piece of silicon

LTE

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the latest standard in the mobile network technology tree. LTE as a whole was designed with heavy reliance on excellent frequency references. Rakon has a range of products to meet the stringent requirements of LTE enabled applications and infrastructure.

• High Stability TCXOs
• Rakon's patented Pluto and Mercury TCXOs
• OCXOs
• VCXOs and XOs 

Timing and Synchronization

At Rakon we have the expertise to help determine the best oscillator solution for your timing and synchronization system requirements.  Oscillator solutions require knowledge of the differential in frequency versus the differential in temperature.  Full characterization is determined by defining the temperature ramp and measurement rate and a detailed analysis over the characterization time period.  Rakon has characterized various types of oscillators under changing environmental conditions for the loop time periods relevant to IEEE 1588.

WiMAX

A WiMAX application’s specific oscillator requirements will depend on the particulars of the deployment and the class of service to be offered. If your application requires complete timing autonomy then Rakon’s high end OCXOs will satisfy your timing needs. Rakon has a range of TCXO and OCXO products that provide the time alignment accuracy required.

• TCXOs and OCXOs

Basestations

The world leader at the high end of precision frequency control, Rakon offers a range of frequency control solutions for the base station and telecom infrastructure markets. Rakon is committed to providing technology leading solutions at competitive prices.

• Self calibrating OCXOs
• Double oven replacements
• Standard OCXOs
• Temperature compensated OCXOs
• Ultra-stable TCXOs

Military 

The harsh environments that hardware is required to operate in can put extreme demand on components which are required to reliably deliver cutting-edge performance. Rakon's patented crystal technology is ideal for rugged environments where shock and vibration exceed normal conditions.

• Shock and vibration tolerant crystals and TCXOs
• TCXOs with power management

Aerospace 

Extensive research has been invested into the thermal sensitivity performance of Rakon's space quartz crystal ultra stable oscillator (USO). Its frequency stability has had a strong influence on the final performance of the DORIS system (Doppler Orbitography and Radio-positioning Integrated by Satellite, cnes system) which used Rakons OCXO. The new thermal sensitivity performance achieved (1.5E-14) is the best performance achieved by any space USO globally.
