Defence SMEs win government funding
Six local defence firms have secured grants to bolster their competitiveness in global markets. The Commonwealth government has awarded $1.3 million in grants to six
C-ROC – Compact Rubidium Optical Clock
Microwave atomic clocks are the backbone of existing GNSS networks (such as GPS and Galileo) as well as being at the heart of numerous high-performance terrestrial communications, radar and broadcast applications. However, QuantX, in conjunction with the University of Adelaide, has made a breakthrough in which optical atomic clocks can provide enhanced performance over microwave clock and do it in a much smaller package.

Cryoclock – Ultra-stable time and frequency signals
Cryoclock is the culmination of 20 years of research and now delivers the world’s purest microwave and RF signals in a reliable and autonomous package that is user friendly. Its output signals possess both ultra-low noise phase noise as well as ultra-high short and medium term frequency stability. Find out more here >
The Q-Mag is a compact high-performance magnetometer in development that can passively detect extremely small magnetic anomalies. By controlling and reading out the quantum states of rubidium atoms in a vapour.

X-LNO – Ultra-Low-Noise Microwave Oscillator
The X-LNO is a microwave reference oscillator that produces world-leading ultra-low phase noise reference signal in the X-band region. By exploiting the remarkably high Q of sapphire, the oscillator delivers a +10 dBm signal with phase noise below -165 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset.

T-Sync – Time Transfer Synchronisation
The ability to accurately synchronise remote clocks through time transfer is critical for position, navigation and timing. GPS has been widely available for decades and modern society has evolved a deep reliance on the precision timing and position signals it provides. Find out more here >
