About
b AXTAL
“AXTAL” stands for ”Advanced XTAL Products” , where "XTAL" is a common abbreviation of "crystal"
AXTAL GmbH & Co. KG is a fully privately owned company, founded in November 2003 by Bernd Neubig*
and Brigitte Neubig. Facility location is in Mosbach/Baden in Southern Germany.
AXTAL GmbH & Co. KG’s core business comprises advanced Frequency Control Products (FCP), i.e. mainly
crystal oscillators and frequency & time modules. All products are ITAR‐free.
AXTAL GmbH & Co. KG main focus is on high‐reliability
high reliability oscillators for Military, Aerospace and Space, with
high requirements for environmental conditions, ultra‐low noise oscillators, for applications like Radar,
Aerospace and Space, and crystal‐controlled modules in the GHz range
AXTAL GmbH & Co. KG incorporates the full value chain including R&D, design, manufacturing, screening
and testing of our products from samples to production quantities completely in‐house.
AXTAL GmbH & Co. KG products manufactured in Germany are 100% ITAR free.
AXTAL GmbH & Co. KG’s product portfolio furthermore covers quartz crystal units, crystal filters,
Rubidium frequency standards, piezoelectric material, and piezoelectric sensors.
AXTAL GmbH & Co Co. KG possesses an assured crystal supply through a close cooperation with ISO 9001
and Space certified companies in Europe, Canada and China
AXTAL CONSULTING is a Sister Company for Design and Consulting Services in the Field of Frequency

Company Profile: Consulting
AXTAL Consulting is an independent Consulting Company and Test House
AXTAL Consulting offers Consulting Services for application and design of Frequency Control
Products (FCP), i.e. quartz crystal units, LGS and GaPO4 crystal resonators, crystal oscillators, filters,
and piezoelectric sensors
AXTAL Consulting helps suppliers and users to optimise the match between product and
application, and thus reduces the risk of failures in the volume application and in the field in an
early stage
AXTAL Consulting provides failure analyses, suggests corrective actions, and assists its customers in
process audits of manufacturing lines
AXTAL Consulting offers testing, screening , qualification of Frequency Control Products according
g IEC‐,, MIL‐,, ESA‐ and Automotive Standards,, e.g.
to acknowledged g
measurement of linear and non‐linear electrical parameters,
temperature tests,
phase noise and short‐term stability tests
aging
g g tests
mechanical and environmental tests
AXTAL Consulting offers screening & upscreening services of FCP for Space applications
