Metrological Digital Cesium Reference Clock Source
In recent years, there have been increasingly stringent requirements for time and frequency reference sources in scientific research. The specifications of cesium atomic standards have also been continuously improved. The emergence of compact and easy-to-operate high-performance cesium clocks provides a flexible choice to meet the strict requirements of navigation, communication, timing systems, and other fields.
The OSA 3235B cesium clock is an atomic frequency standard that utilizes the hyperfine transition of ground-state cesium-133 atoms. It is designed and manufactured using the latest technology, featuring a compact and small form factor. Thanks to its small size, the OSA 3235B offers unparalleled operability in the market. Combined with its long-life cesium tube, the performance of the OSA 3235B meets our long-term requirements.
