Description
PNCS-1 Low Phase Noise Clock Standard
The PNCS-1 Low Phase Noise Clock Standard provides an ultra-clean phase noise 1GHz sinewave that can be used as a phase noise reference standard for testing spectrum analyzer phase noise performance.
The PNCS-1 is also well suited for use as a system clock for ADC’s and DAC’s, reducing unwanted system-created spurious signals, and thus achieving the best possible system performance from the ADC or DAC. The PNCS-1 can save a system engineer time during product development when working with high performance ADC’s or DAC’s. By being a clean, ready 1GHz clock source, the PNCS-1 allows the engineer to achieve advertised performance from the ADC’s or DAC’s they are designing into a new circuit or product.
