Highest Performance in Smallest Package
The suffix "HP" stands for "High Performance" in the new OCXO models AXIOM10HP and AXIOM30HP. Both models are the benchmark for high stability (± 5 ppb over temperature) and very low phase noise (-100 dBc @ 1Hz and -130 dBc @ 10 Hz), both combined in an ultimately small package.
AXIOM10HP comes in the SMD package CO28 (22 x 25 x 14 mm) , whereas AXIOM30HP is the through-hole version in a 7-pin version of the CO15 package (20 x 20 x 11.5 mm). Both models are hermetically sealed. A number of special features completes the outstanding High Performance of the new "HP" series. For details please see the data sheets AXIOM10HP and AXIOM30HP.

March 2006 High Precision OCXO with SMA connector
For applications in modular systems AXTAL introduces its high-stability OCXO series AXIOM90 and AXIOM95. These models come in a machined metal package with SMA connectors and with a mounting flange at the bottom side. The output has a sinusoidal wave form with an amplitude level of +3 dBm to +7 dBm @ 50 Ohm. The modules are available for supply vvoltages of 3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 Volt.
The high frequency stability is achieved with a precision quartz crystal unit, which is either an AT-cut or an SC-cut resonator, depending on the required stability and phase noise.
The AXIOM90 series covers the frequency range between 10 MHz and 40 MHz. The series AXIOM95, which is designed in the range from 80 MHz to 130 MHz, is optimized for lowest phase noise, and is therefore particularly dedicated for microwave applications.

New products in the AXTAL portfolio: Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO).
In addition to the well-known VCXO, which employ quartz crystals or LGS or. GaPO4 resonators, AXTAL  introduces now Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO) based on coaxial resonators and etched resonators in the microwave frequency range.
The new SMD-VCO cover a frequency range from 250 MHz to 7400 MHzt. The standard package has a 12.7 x 12.7 mm footprint. In addition variants with a high output power level of  +20 dBm are offered.
For higher frequencies up to 12.3 GHz a new line of VCO in a TO-8 package are introduced. These models are a perfect replacement of the obsolete Agilent VCO in the same package..

AXTAL introduces the world smallest OCXO in a 9x14 mm SMD package
With its new model AXIOM60  AXTAL now offers an ultra-miniature OCXO with ± 100 ppb stability in the small C0 27 package, which measures only 9 x 14 x 8.5 mm  (LxWxH). One target application is Stratum III , the requirements of which are exceeded by a fair margin, and potential disadvantages of TCXOs like hysteresis and frequency dips are overcome.

AXIS30 replaces Fujitsu M2 (F100)
Our successful Wide-Pull-VCXO AXIS30 series is a SMD replacement of the obsolete Fujitsu M2 (F100) VCXO. Standard frequencies are 27 MHz, 28,224 MHz, 28,636 MHz and several others.
With its pulling range options of more than ± 2000 ppm AXIS30 meets well the requirements of  Audio/Video and many other applications  Due to the use of Langasite (LGS) resonators, the stability of AXIS30 is superior to the M2.
