About
Beyond Gravity Master Local Oscillators (MLOs) generate a highly stable and accurate reference frequency. Beyond Gravity MLOs are designed to meet the demanding requirements of space applications, offering exceptional performance and reliability in even the most challenging environments.
Beyond Gravity’s Master Local Oscillator (MLO) for telecom payloads is a dual-redundant, high-performance solution with a compact design for 7-13 GHz output. It is built using the latest technologies, with heritage from the LO in the well-proven Beyond Gravity Converters and Receivers, offering excellent electrical performance and reliability.
The MLO is designed to interface with most satellite bus standards and can be configured for different output frequencies as well as for a variety of DC and TM/TC interfaces. Extensive use of MMIC and miniaturization technologies results in a small size and low mass, making the MLO ideal for space-constrained applications.
