FAQ

1. What makes the pico Pod different from other frequency reference devices?
   The pico Pod combines exceptional stability with a compact chassis, offering low phase noise performance (-150 dBc/Hz@ 1kHz for 100 MHz) in a small form factor that operates from just 5 Vdc, making it uniquely suited for space-constrained applications. Its GPS Disciplined technology ensures long-term accuracy.
2. Can the pico Pod operate without GPS signal?
   Yes, the pico Pod features auto calibration that stores the best known GPS crystal calibration coefficients in non-volatile memory and applies them to the OCXO during GPS loss conditions, maintaining accuracy even when satellite signals are unavailable.
3. What output options are available for this frequency reference?
   The pico Pod is available with 10, 50, and 100 MHz Low Phase Noise options, with 0.5 Vrms output and harmonics well below -30dBc. The 10 MHz reference output is particularly stable with minimal jitter. All inputs and outputs are fault and transient protected.
4. How is the Allan Deviation monitoring useful?
   The Allan Deviation calculation is a critical metric for measuring frequency stability over time. The pico Pod provides continuous calculation of this metric accessible via RS232 port, allowing users to monitor the oscillator’s stability characteristics and ensure optimal performance of their frequency reference.
5. What connectivity options does the modular chassis provide?
   The pico Pod’s modular chassis design includes NMEA output at full RS232 levels, with logic LVCMOS available as an option. The PPS source can be configured to work with external timing references, and all connections are protected against transients and faults.
