The document discusses how vibration can negatively impact electronic system performance by injecting noise into reference oscillators. It describes how this noise reduces performance in applications like communication systems, navigation systems, radar systems, and electronic warfare systems. The document then explains that the effects of vibration can be reduced through mechanical isolation and electronic compensation techniques. It provides examples of Bliley's Poseidon oscillator series that uses electrical compensation of g-forces to significantly improve performance under vibration compared to standard oscillators. Case studies demonstrate performance gains for in-flight entertainment links and satcom systems. The document outlines Bliley's product portfolio and highlights their focus on low phase noise, customization, and vibration compensation.

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.
3. #BlileyTakesYouFurther
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
Electronic Warfare Systems

Bliley Tech
We design and
manufacture ultra-
low phase noise
oscillators, and it all
starts with our ability
to craft quartz
crystal resonators
with astonishing
quality.
Truly customizable
Want 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

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 the
RF chain.
