The way I had success was to run directly to the sound card and not through the SDR1000 box. Got rid of a lot of hum and noise. I'm using a D104 with the preamp in the base that is battery powered. It goes directly into the D44 sound card input through the Eric2 interface card. I also have

I'm experiencing what I assume is the I and Q buffers losing sync. Once this happens quadrature is lost and a DSB and a delayed DSB audio signal is transmitted instead of SSB. It has happened in all the previews and has been causing problems with interference to other stations. It seems to

[Flexradio] DIP OCXO for SDR

2006-01-04 Thread john_eckert
First of all, any osc multiplied up widens its sidebands (phase noise) by the multiplication factor and the inverse is also true. The DDS does a 20X to 200MHz and a divide by 20 to get back to 10MHz. I guess it's academic at this point how much jitter is added by the DDS until someone measures

Gentlemen, The DDS does Direct Digital Synthesis hence the name. It does not divide back to anything but runs an phase accumulation engine at 200 MHz (or whatever the clock rate) that produces output values to the dac at that rate. No division is performed. Richard W5SXD John Ackermann

The best way to do this is to go through the Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs and remove Preview 10 there. That should allow you to reinstall the corrected P10. This was a quick fix and we will likely have a P11 out by the end of the week to clear up the mess. Eric Wachsmann

Richard, that's a question I've been meaning to ask someone -- whether there's any phase noise improvement resulting from the (apparent) division of the clock signal by the DDS, or whether the output phase noise is always the same as, or worse than (due to imperfection in the DDS process), the
