   5 ppm temperature stability, 25 ppm lifetime stability, -55 to +125 operatingrange ORLANDO, Fla.--(Business Wire)--MtronPTI, a world leader in harsh environment RF & microwave filters and customfrequency control products, today announced the HPO series oscillators for harshenvironment high temperature applications. Joe Doyle, Vice President ofoscillator engineering, says, "The HPO`s 25 ppm stability, military temperaturerange and reliability make it perfect for safety and efficiency systems likeairframe and engine control." Joe continues, "Flight and engine control system designers need to minimize sizeand weight, make sensitive measurements looking for slight performancedeviations and above all make sure systems work perfectly while riding the wing.With a demand for increased air travel efficiency, more and more designers areturning to harsh environment control systems. The HPO series is expresslydesigned as the timing source to fill that need." According to Lucintel, aerospace market research and consulting company, theglobal avionics market will be about $8B by 2020 - nearly a 4% CAGR from today.Despite spending slowdowns in the last six years, total industry sales grew.Communication and navigation grew most, followed by control, radar andsurveillance with North America taking largest share. Demand for new aircraft issteady and upgrades to older planes continue to improve performance andefficiency. Modern commercial jet turbofans generate thousands of data points per second tomanage fuel consumption and engine operation. An array of sensors, A/Dconverters, local computers and high speed data links all need to function inthe non-air-conditioned space under the cowling or in the wing. These systemscompare engine performance to computerized models to reduce fuel consumption andpredict maintenance before problems develop - knowing the answers before thequestions are asked. The timing heartbeat of these control systems is atemperature stable avionics oscillator like the HPO series. Available in frequencies from 25 to 150 MHz with temperature stability of 5 ppmand overall stability down to 25 ppm standard, the MtronPTI HPO series is anideal choice for real-time harsh environment control applications. Factorycustom frequency selection allows first article units in two weeks or less withlow rate initial production in about a month. Operating temperature of -55 to+125 C means an accurate frequency on the runway in Dubai or at Flight Level390 (39,000`) cruising to Asia. The HPO series comes in a leadless 6-pad 5 x 7 mm ceramic package or in agullwing 4-lead version. MtronPTI uses an AS9100 REV C and ISO 9001:2008 qualitymanagement system in the design and manufacture of the HPO series.
