木衛(wèi)二快船將攜帶儀器,可以直接觀察到衛(wèi)星的冰殼。它被稱為歐羅巴評估和探測雷達:海洋到近地表,或REASON。“理性”號將利用無線電波穿透木衛(wèi)二冰層,深度可達18英里。它將搜尋這顆衛(wèi)星疑似存在的海洋,測量冰的厚度,并研究冰的內(nèi)部結(jié)構(gòu),包括可能連接月球表面和海洋的任何內(nèi)部水體。Wenzel晶振與美國宇航局位于南加州的噴氣推進實驗室密切合作,該實驗室負責管理該任務(wù),他們設(shè)計并制造了一個定制的、符合太空標準的頻率合成器組件。該組件由幾個穩(wěn)定的有源晶體振蕩器組成,該振蕩器為所有儀器定時信號產(chǎn)生參考頻率。本月早些時候,Wenzel晶振慶祝了其支持太空RF/MW應(yīng)用的30周年。
關(guān)于Wenzel晶振:自1978年以來,Wenzel為超低相位噪聲晶體振蕩器設(shè)定了標準,該組合由一系列先進的頻率源和集成的微波組件補充到30 GHz及以上。Wenzel的頻率控制和定時產(chǎn)品設(shè)計用于關(guān)鍵任務(wù)的軍事,空間和商業(yè)應(yīng)用,并在最極端的環(huán)境中運行。無與倫比的精度,低g靈敏度和超低相位噪聲使我們的工程專業(yè)知識脫穎而出,因此我們的客戶可以充滿信心-毫不猶豫地執(zhí)行。作為一家高品質(zhì)石英晶振公司,我們是一個擴展的工程生態(tài)系統(tǒng)和強大的供應(yīng)鏈的一部分,定義了一個擴展到每個客戶的競爭優(yōu)勢。
The Europa Clipper will carry instruments that can directly observe the moon's icy crust. It's called the Europa Assessment and Detection Radar: Ocean to Near Surface, or REASON. Rationality will use radio waves to penetrate Europa's ice to depths of up to 18 miles. It will search for the moon's suspected ocean, measure the thickness of the ice, and study the ice's internal structure, including any internal bodies of water that may connect the moon's surface to the ocean. Working closely with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, which is managing the mission, Wenzel designed and built a custom, space-standards-compliant frequency synthesizer component. The module consists of several stable quartz crystal oscillators that generate reference frequencies for all instrument timing signals. Earlier this month, Wenzel celebrated 30 years of supporting RF/MW applications in space.
About Wenzel: Since 1978, Wenzel has set the standard for ultra-low phase noise crystal oscillators, a portfolio supplemented by a range of advanced frequency sources and integrated microwave components to 30 GHz and beyond. Wenzel's frequency control and timing products are designed for mission-critical military, space and commercial applications and operate in the most extreme environments. Unmatched accuracy, low g sensitivity and ultra-low phase noise make our engineering expertise stand out, so our customers can perform with confidence - without hesitation. As a high quality quartz crystal company, we are part of an extended engineering ecosystem and a strong supply chain that defines a competitive advantage that extends to every customer.技術(shù)支持
