Jackson Labs Delivers Breakthrough GPSDO Frequency Standard

"Fury" Offers Higher Short-Term Stability Than Rubidium Clock References, With Lower Phase Noise and Spurs Than Competitive Solutions

Jackson Labs, a designer and manufacturer of cutting-edge test & measurement equipment, today announced the availability of its breakthrough product, Fury. Fury is a 10 MHz Global Positioning System Disciplined Oscillator (GPSDO) that requires no calibration, delivers higher stability than typical Rubidium Clock References, and meets the requirements of a Stratum 1 frequency standard.

Fury offers better than 1E-012 accuracy per day, has exceptionally low power consumption (4.5W), has a phase-noise floor of less than -155dBc/Hz, and has extremely low spurs and jitter. The revolutionary GPSDO generates a clean one-pulse-per-second (1PPS) output phase-synchronized to UTC to better than 20ns RMS, which can be offset to UTC in 1 nanosecond steps. Fury also generates Sine-Wave and CMOS 10MHz outputs. Fury can be controlled by an RS-232 port via industry-standard SCPI commands, or via an LCD and keypad, and provides SNTP network timing via its GPSCon software option.

Jackson Labs cofounder and President, Said Jackson, noted that the Fury has generated excitement not just because of its very high performance, but also because of its competitive price: "Fury's exceptional performance, low cost, and calibration-free nature have enabled our customers to use the device both in laboratory environments as an in-house frequency-standard, or, alternatively, inside an OEM product as that product's reference clock. Fury's small package and low price create an exceptional value proposition for a wide range of applications."

Fury is the Company's first product release since FireFox, a GPSDO-based Sweeping Signal Generator with output signals that range from DC to 1640MHz (with options up to 6GHz) with a frequency step size of 10 microhertz.

The Company noted that Fury is currently available and shipping in quantity. Pricing is $960 for one unit, $750 for twenty units or more, and by-arrangement for more than 100 units. Fury is available in OEM PCB versions as well as in a desktop enclosure.
