Space Grade Time and Frequency Products
Time and Frequency Products are an integral part of Space programs and applications, whether it be in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) or in Communication Satellites and other space missions. LKD distributes Accubeat’s Space Grade Ultra Stable Oscillator (USO) and AR81 Frequency Standard, both designed specifically with space applications in mind.
Ultra Stable Oscillator (USO) designed specially for the European Space Agencies Deep Space Exploration Missions.
AccuBeat’s AR81 was specifically designed to meet the requirements of Galileo –Europe’s GNSS Satellite and Navigation system. The AR81 is a 1U, 19” rack-mounted unit featuring an ultra high-stability and ultra-low phase noise Rubidium Frequency Standard. The unit has six 10 MHz outputs and two redundant power supplies. AccuBeat’s AR81 is an integral part of the ground equipment of Galileo since the initial stages of the project.
AccuBeat has designed their USO for the European Space Agency’s unmanned Deep Space Exploration Mission. The USO is currently used in ESA’s JUICE (Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer) mission. The AR81 was specifically created to be integrated to GNSS and navigation systems. It currently plays an important role on ESA’s Galileo GNSS communication network.
