Function Description   Technical Characteristics

The FEI Series FE-103A features operation from 5 MHz to 20 MHz with low phase noise and excellent stability.

Typical phase noise is -142 dBc at 10 Hz from the carrier, -148 dBc at 100 Hz from the carrier, -155 dBc at 1 kHz from the carrier and -158 dBc at 10kHz and at 100 kHz from the carrier.

This oscillator is a double oven design using a 5th overtone SC cut crystal to insure both excellent long term stability and temperature stability.

Aging is 3x10-7/Year and 1x10-6 /10 years. Temperature stability is 1x10-10 over -10° to 60°C.

The FE-103A was designed for applications such as reference for Communications Systems and wireless applications such as cellular phone base stations.
