High Frequency Standard Capacitor
GenRad 1403 Series
-
The GenRad 1403 Standard Air Capacitors are stable, three-terminal standards in decimal values from 0.001 pF to 1000 pF. For measurement at 100 pF and below, a three terminal connection increases the accuracy by eliminating the uncertainty in the measurement introduced by the capacitances between the capacitor terminals and ground.

IRIG Time Code Receiver & Generator Module
TCR180
-
Meinberg Funkuhren GmbH & Co. KG
The module TCR180 has been designed to receive and to generate IRIG-A/B/G, IEEE 1344, IEEE C37.118 or AFNOR NF S87-500 time codes. It is used in applications like data acquisition, standalone computer time synchronization (for systems without a network connection or higher accuracy requirements) or as an IRIG converter device. The frequency locking of the master oscillator to the time code system enables this module to generate fixed and programmable standard frequencies with high accuracy and stability. Various oscillator options allow the cost efficient implementation of different requirements concerning the accurracy of the outputs. The generator of the IMS-TCR module generates pulses per second and per minute and per hour. Four programmable outputs are also available. The pulses are synchronized to UTC-second.

Full Band Phase Shifters
STP-18-10-M2
-
Full band phase shifters are micrometer-driven, waveguide-based phase shifters. The configuration of the micrometer-driven phase shifters is similar to that of level setting attenuators, where the phase shifting is caused by an E-plane dielectric insert in the rectangular waveguide. The amount of phase shifting is directly dependent on the volume of the insert. The VSWR and the insertion loss of these phase shifters are dependent on the frequency. The below standard offering covers the frequency range of 18 to 110 GHz and a phase shifting range of 180 degrees. These micrometer-driven phase shifters are typically used to introduce a certain amount of phase shifting when the absolute number is not a focus.

Redundant Frequency and Timing Systems
-
A unique feature of our frequency standards and distribution amplifiers is that the two separate parts of the redundant system are identical and can easily be inter-changed, for maintenance purposes. What we mean by this is that that we don't have a "Master" unit and a "Slave" unit. Whatever unit is powered up first becomes the master unit and the other becomes the slave unit.
