High-stability quartz oscillators are needed in a number of space applications. A short-term stability of parts in 10^{-14} [Allan deviation \sigma y(\tau) ] is sometimes required, for integration time \tau of approximately 1-10 s. The…
We report on the frequency performance of a low cost (~500$) radio-frequency sine wave generator, using direct digital synthesis (DDS) and a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The output frequency of the device may be changed dynamically…

Quantum frequency conversion (QFC) will be an indispensable ingredient in future quantum technologies. For example, large-scale fibre-based quantum networks will require QFC to interconnect heterogeneous building blocks like emitters,…
The digital signal processing has greatly simplified the process of phase noise measurements, especially in oscillators, but its applications are largely confined to the frequencies below 400 MHz. We propose a novel transpose frequency…
Generating "locally" the local oscillator is a fundamental requirement for continous-variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD), both for performance and security reasons. As a consequence, next-generation CV- QKD systems will have to be…
In most digital-to-time converter (DTC) based applications, apart from maintaining low integral non-linearity (INL), it is also required of the system to achieve a wide frequency translation range. To achieve this performance, we present a…
Oscillators in the GHz frequency range are key building blocks for telecommunication, timing and positioning applications. Operating directly in the GHz and compactness while keeping high frequency stability, is still an up-to-date…
