Quartzlock

Precise and Ultra Low Noise Frequency / Time References and Stability Analyzers
Quartzlock Timing Module Circuit

For over 40 years, Quartzlock has been specializing in measurement science, and building off-air and atomic frequency referencing standards and calibration equipment.

In addition to the standard catalog offerings, Quartzlock specializes in research, design and engineering services using state of the art materials combined with appropriate ergonomic and industrial design.

Quartzlock Low Noise Rubidium Oscillator
Rubidium and GPS Controlled  Frequency Reference
Quartzlock Rubidium and GPS controlled frequency reference

Quartzlock offers a complete range from the lowest cost to the lowest noise in both atomic controlled (rubidium) and GPS controlled (off-air) time and frequency references, calibrators and standards.

Passive & Active Hydrogen Maser
Quartzlock passive and active hydrogen maser

The Passive and Active Hydrogen Maser Frequency Standards are available through a teaming relationship between Quartzlock and KVARZ Institute of Electronic Measurements of Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.

Timing Modules

Quartzlock provides Timing Modules for network timing, reference disciplining to various input references such as 1PPS, GPS receiver and Frequency References.

By characterizing oscillators over temperature and monitoring the performance over time, Quartzlock modules will provide optimal performance for your application. Utilizing the best performing oscillators available with our proprietary algorithms and Kalman Filters allows you to achieve performance that traditionally is met with ceasium or maser based oscillators. Modules are typically used in W-CDMA base stations, HD digital video broadcast and general timing and Instrumentation applications.

Frequency and Phase Analysis
Quartzlock frequency and phase analysis system and software

The A7-MX is invaluable in the design of low noise oscillators, atomic frequency standards and passive devices where close in phase noise, freedom from spurii, and phase stability are essential design objectives.

The A7-MX is unique in its ability to measure time domain stability at averaging times from 1ms to weeks, and phase noise from mHz to 500Hz. Discrete spurii can be measured close to the carrier at levels down to -120dBc.

The high resolution input operates at 5 or 10MHz. The reference is also at 5 or 10MHz.

A lower resolution input is provided which will measure at frequencies between 50kHz and 65MHz.

The A7-MX is not limited to research and development. The real time digital display of fractional frequency offset combined with the high resolution analogue meter makes the production setting of all types of frequency standard a simple and rapid operation.

Distribution Amplifier
Quartzlock frequency distribution amplifiers

The Quartzlock range of distribution amplifiers are intended for use when multiple outputs from a single frequency standard/generator are required. This may be encountered in engineering labs, national standards labs, research and development, calibration labs and production. This is vital for the distribution of signals from other precision frequency standards like Hydrogen Masers, Cesium oscillators.

Frequency Conversion
Quartzlock frequency conversion, frequency converters

A comprehensive range of frequency convertors to meet a wide range of needs.

Redundancy Switches & Frequency Reference
Quartzlock Frequency reference redundant switches

Quartzlock switches and multiple redundant rubidium frequency reference products will keep your mission-critical equipment online and serving your customers even at remote, unstaffed locations.

RF & Microwave Components
Quartzlock programmable attenuators, H-Field loop antennas, Precision housings for Frequency and reference

The Quartzlock range of RF and Microwave Components has been designed to compliment our own range of time and frequency standards as well a being compatible with other manufacturers systems where enhanced performance is needed.

Calibration Services
Quartzlock Frequecy reference calibration services

Quartzlock can calibrate any Quartzlock equipment in their hydrogen maser and A7-MX equipped laboratory.

Approximate turn-round time in the lab is 14 days (add transport time to and from the UK lab).

If you have Quartzlock equipment that needs calibrating please contact Lionheart Northwest to discuss your requirements.
