Passive Hydrogen Maser VCH-1008

The VCH-1008 Passive Hydrogen Maser is a compact hydrogen maser with excellent frequency stability and utilises state-of-the-art technology. Full digital processing of the modulation and servo loop signals makes it ideal for high accuracy applications. An internal GPS/GLONASS option is available and provides automatic output signal frequency calibration.

Key applications:
- National Time Keeping Service
- Space tracking and navigation
- Verification of frequency signals
- Scientific research
