Ultra-Low Noise (ULN) reference TCXO for 5G RRUs and small cells
Rakon has released a 38.4 MHz TCXO for clock reference applications where ultra-low phase noise and low wander generation performance are crucial. The RPT1490LN is a QUALCOMM qualified reference part supporting the 5G FSM100xx platform. Its registered QUALCOMM design reference numbers are FSM10055 and FSM10056. This TCXO was designed to meet the requirements of radio applications and other high bandwidth applications performing QAM-like modulation.
The RPT1490LN boasts the following unique features:
Ultra-low phase noise performance
The RPT1490LN has a noise floor as low as -175 dBc/Hz (see Figure 1 below). The unique combination of high stability and low phase noise enables the device to be the single reference oscillator for network synchronisation and phase noise clean up.
Excellent frequency vs temperature stability
One key specification of the RPT1490LN is its ±0.3 ppm frequency vs temperature stability in the -40 to 95°C range. This stability over temperature is a basic need for the limited wander generation and minimal dynamic clock error.
Wide temperature range
Next-generation fan-less radios operate at higher operating temperatures; therefore a version of the device operating up to 105°C is available on request.
High lifetime accuracy
The RPT1490LN uses Rakon's patented "Tilt Compensation" in voltage control. This solution guarantees the lifetime accuracy of the oscillator and ensures that the end system is within the limits of the frequency tolerance at all conditions.
Compact package size and low power consumption
The RPT1490LN boasts a compact package of 14.5 x 9.5 x 6.0 mm, which has been made possible by combining Rakon's high-Q small form fact XMEMS® crystal, proprietary Pluto+™ ASIC, with in-house electric circuitry. Because of the integrated design, the RPT1490LN consumes half the power of other TCXOs in the same class,
