High Ultimate Attenuation Low-Pass Anti-Aliasing Filters:

These filters offer exceptional performance in mitigating interference, particularly from FM broadcasting signals. They achieve an attenuation of around 70 dB for frequencies in the 88-108 MHz range (FM broadcasting), significantly reducing their impact on the desired signal range of 15-35 MHz. This value is additive to the attenuation provided by the RX band filters, which typically offer over 40 dB of suppression.

The high attenuation of the anti-aliasing filters ensures minimal interference from FM broadcasts, even when operating near the edges of the desired frequency range. The combined effect of the anti-aliasing and band filters provides exceptional signal fidelity within the 15-35 MHz range.
This feature is particularly valuable for applications requiring high sensitivity and selectivity, such as weak signal reception or interference-prone environments.

High-Stability Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) with GNSS Input:

OL-SDR features a high-performance Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) delivering exceptional frequency stability. The TCXO boasts an impressive stability of ±50 ppb (0.5 Hz at 10 MHz) across its entire operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Additionally, it incorporates a dedicated GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) input, compatible with systems like GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo.

The TCXO utilizes advanced circuitry to counteract the natural frequency drift of crystals due to temperature fluctuations. This ensures highly accurate and consistent signal generation, crucial for reliable radio operation.
The ±50 ppb Stability translates to a maximum frequency deviation of only 0.5 Hz at 10 MHz. This level of precision minimizes signal errors and ensures accurate signal reception and transmission, the wide operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C) guarantees consistent performance in various environmental conditions, making the radio suitable for diverse applications. 
The integrated GNSS input allows for synchronization with external satellite navigation systems. This functionality is beneficial for applications requiring precise timekeeping or location-based operations.

Pure Signal-2

Pure Signal

Spectral Purity at All Costs

In addition to perfect modulation processing, OL-SDR implements Pure Signal functionality to correct the non-linearities that are always present even in the best power amplifiers.

By monitoring the transmitted signal, its purity is controlled in real time, and by intervening appropriately in the signal generation process itself, the introduced distortions are neutralized.

This results in an improvement of IMD3 typically between 20dB and 40dB, bringing the final IMD3 to values normally better, even by a large amount, than -60dBc: values unattainable for any TX equipped with a power amplifier.
