The 10 MHz frequency reference is used to phase lock the local oscillator in the LNB or BUC and thus make the local oscillator frerquency very stable. LNB: If you are trying to receive small carriers or making measurements then high frequency accuracy in your LNB helps.

What is 10 MHz reference?

The low noise Master Oscillator 10 MHz Reference (MOR) is a device able to provide up to two 10 MHz outputs with very low noise in order to operate as a stable RF reference. This signal is distributed along the particle accelerator and used as synchronization master reference for all the machine subsystems.

Can you make an oscillator at 10 MHz or 100 MHz?

Free-running reference oscillators span 10 MHz to 100 MHz with low phase noise. ... Pasternack's six new free-running reference oscillators are available with single output frequencies of 10 MHz, 50 MHz or 100MHz.
