Symmetricom’s Active Hydrogen Maser Now Offers New Low Phase Noise Option and is CE-Compliant

Business Wire
Symmetricom®, Inc. (NASDAQ:SYMM), a worldwide leader in precise
time and frequency technologies, announced today that it is
offering a new low phase noise (LPN) option for its MHM 2010 Active
Hydrogen Maser (Microwave Amplification by Stimulated Emission of
Radiation). In addition, the product is now CE-compliant making it
more attractive for sale in Europe. The new LPN module provides a
10dBc improvement in close-to-the-carrier phase noise enabling
higher resolution measurements in radio astronomy applications and
other high precision metrological applications throughout the
world.
Doug Lowrie, product marketing manager for Symmetricom’s maser
product line noted, “Our MHM 2010 Maser has long defined the
standard for atomic clock stability, with proven reliability and
superior support and service. Now, with the new low phase noise
option, we are able to improve the performance of our Maser for
metrology and radio astronomy customers by enabling higher
resolution measurements and observations.”
A significant portion of Symmetricom’s radio astronomy customer
base utilizes VLBI (very long baseline interferometry) technology.
VLBI focuses a beam from several antennas scattered across a vast
geographic area that are in turn aimed at common distant sources in
outer space. The array of telescopes combined has a baseline, equal
to the maximum separation between the telescopes. The signals
received by the various antennas need to be tightly time stamped as
they are recorded. This allows the correlation of each telescope’s
information so that the final output is in the form of one image,
with greatly enhanced detail. Lowrie explained, “Our customers want
to be able to use higher frequencies for each telescope which will
in turn provide higher resolution images. A LPN mode capability is
a requirement for using these higher frequencies.”
About Symmetricom’s MHM 2010 Maser
With more than 100 units installed world-wide, Symmetricom’s MHM
2010 is the most widely installed Maser product in the world. More
than 30 of the masers installed in the field have been operating
for longer than 15 years on a single charge of hydrogen. The new
LPN option for Symmetricom’s MHM 2010 is provided as a factory
installed option.
