 What kind of difference
A closer look does "digital" make?
at the digital sensor that's setting these new standards F rom cellular phones to compact

to research and development of innov-

made possible.

...Simple operation.

At the heart of DPharp is its digital sensor. Using proven, semiconductor fabrication techniques, two resonators are pat-
terned onto a silicon substrate. The resultant digital sensor output is up to four times higher than that of today's conventional
Smart transmitters. At the same time, DPharp exhibits as much as ten times less signal error. This higher, signal-to-noise out-
put ratio is the primary reason DPharp can eliminate drift forever.
