20 kg-Class Ultra-Compact Active Hydrogen Maser — JLT-2520 MAX
Model: JLT-2520 MAX
The JLT-2520 MAX (ECNU-2520 MAX) is an enhanced high-performance active hydrogen maser. Its specifications are benchmarked against the VCH2022, and it is a 100% domestically produced substitute. It provides a standard frequency source with highly stable, low-noise sine wave outputs (5 MHz, 10 MHz, 100 MHz) and a one-pulse-per-second signal (1PPS). The JLT-2520 MAX can serve as a standalone reference source or as the reference for a time and frequency measurement system.
Applications
- · Time keeping and dissemination;
- · Metrology and testing;
- · Space tracking and navigation;
- · Radio astronomy / VLBI;
- · Scientific research.
