Q-Tech Corporation is a leading provider in crystal oscillators for military and space applications.
Q-Tech was the first company to commercially manufacture hybrid crystal oscillators for the MIL-PRF-55310 QPL in 1972. Since then, Q-Tech has created a range of high-reliability oscillators used multiple space and satellite missions as well as defense avionics.
Hybrid crystal oscillators combine a quartz crystal with semiconductor devices for superior frequency control and timing. Q-Tech’s product manufacturing and testing support reliability with radiation testing, temperature testing, shock and vibe, and more.Â
