HOSONIC TCXO G21TC26 Enables Precision Synchronization for Wireless Connectivity

The HOSONIC G21TC26.000SW001E is a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) specifically designed for wireless communication equipment. Housed in a compact 2016 package, it delivers a stable frequency output of 26MHz. Its core advantages lie in exceptional frequency stability across a wide temperature range and low phase noise characteristics, meeting the stringent requirements for clock source accuracy in applications such as 5G base stations, IoT terminals, and automotive communication systems.

Core Technical Features: Addressing Key Challenges in Wireless Communication

Through advanced temperature compensation technology, the G21TC26.000SW001E achieves a frequency stability of ±0.5ppm over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, significantly outperforming standard crystal oscillators (typically ±10–20ppm). This effectively minimizes frequency drift caused by temperature fluctuations, preventing signal synchronization issues in high-speed data transmission. With a low phase noise of -150 dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset, it supports pure waveforms for high-order modulation schemes like 1024QAM, reducing bit error rates and increasing channel capacity. In terms of energy efficiency, the device operates from a wide supply voltage range of 1.8V to 3.0V, with a operating current of just 1.6mA—approximately 40% lower than traditional 5V crystal oscillator solutions. Additionally, its fast start-up time of ≤2ms meets the low-power wake-up requirements of devices, enabling terminal equipment to achieve network connection within seconds.
