Re: [time-nuts] HP10544a Technical Info needed

I have a bad 10544 (received from AST) that I am planning to look into. No 10 MHz out and very low 12 VDC current. Has anyone the translation from HP PN to Commercial equiv for the semiconductors ? Thanks Les Lester B Veenstra M0YCM K1YCM K1YCM/6Y5 Mail Address: Lester Veenstra

CORRECTION Judging from the oscillator and oven controller voltage ranges Tom's scanned circuit is actually for the later production models of the 10544A with the improved phase noise specification. The input signal to the oscillator buffer cascode was probably somewhat smaller than 76mV rms

Since several of you have mentioned the 10811, or how the 10544 differs from the 10811, you will find the original HP Journal article about the 10811 very informative. See pages 20 to 29. http://www.hparchive.com/Journals/Low-Resolution/HPJ-1981-03-Low-Resolution.pdf (4.5 MB)

Dr Bruce Griffiths said the following on 02/02/2007 06:29 PM: Since the MAX477 has an input noise of around 5nV/rtHz at 10MHz compared to around 1nV/rtHz for a low noise bipolar transistor, the MAX477 may be expected to be have a phase noise floor of up to 14dB higher than that of an

This question had come up a few weeks ago. The service manual says not to power up the oven when the 10811 is disassembled for service. I talked to Dave Montgomery, former head technician on the 10811 line from its begining around 1980 until its end a few years ago. He said that it is OK to
