Vibration significantly impacts system performance

Our insatiable appetite for connectivity and mobility has driven wide adoption of modern electronic systems in dynamic environmental conditions.

These environments included airborne applications, shipboard applications, and other platforms that are subjected to shock, vibration, and acceleration. The effects of these g-forces have a significant impact on system performance.


Reduced system performance due to oscillator noise

• Frequency multiplication magnifies noise in the LO leading to higher bit error rates and thereby reduces data rates

High Data Rate Communication

Systems

• Noise in the reference signal will impact PNT accuracy and increase susceptibility to jamming

Position, Navigation, and Timing Systems

• Noisy oscillator signals will result in lower detection rates, false detection events, and decreased effective range

Advanced Radar Systems

• Like radar, detection range is impacted. Slower signal processing results in slower threat identification and response

What we’re known for…

Space qualified quartz crystalsOur glass vacuum sealed BG61 is currently one the most stable oscillator in the universe. Flying on the New Horizons spacecraft, Bliley‘s BG61 is currenly over 4.5 billion (with a ‘B‘) miles away.

Dear Phase-Noise,Prepare to be eliminated.Sincerely,Bliley TechWe design and manufacture ultra-low phase noise oscillators, and it all starts with our ability to craft quartz crystal resonators with astonishing quality.

Truly customizableWant an ovenized oscillator at 31.238MHz, with a best-in-class phase-noise, and great crystal aging performance? Need a transducer cut to application specific dimensions?We're up for the challenge.

Turning tubulence into clear skies.Vibration makes it difficult for in-flight Wi-Fi systems to remain locked on the satellite. By reducing the acceleration sensitivity, we’re enabling higher speed connections and more simultaneous users.

Our technology focus areas…Typically you must trade

power consumption (TCXOs) for performance (OCXOs). Our

low-power strategy aims to offer OCXO performance at

TCXO power budgets.

G-forces and acceleration are a major cause of

noise in an oscillators output. Our g-force

compensated strategy aims to reduce the negative effects of

acceleration.

Our reliance on GPS for Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT)

has raised concerns among military and policy makers alike.

Our PNT strategy aims to reduce

our reliance on GPS.

Bliley has a long-standing legacy providing space worthy crystals. Our Hi-rel strategy aims to extend to oscillators.

Bliley’s core offering include quartz crystals and quartz based oscillators. Our strategy aims to extend this expertise into the rest of theRF chain.
