It is a circuit that they for instance use in the 2110 where they take the reference input in case of 10 MHz divide by 2 and also divide the 5 MHz down to 500 Hz use an exor and out comes 5.000500 MHz filtered and divided by 5. The result is 1.000100 MHz which is mixed with the unknown

You may want to look at how that was done many years ago with frequency difference multiplication as in the old Tracor meters - I think the 528 was the main one. They synthesized a 9 MHz reference from one input, and then subtracted it from the other to get a 1 MHz result, which was used as a

No page. The effect is nothing very special. No relativity. Mostly just the effect of the oscillator's G sensitivity caused by tilting and acceleration as it swings. What is generally measured with a 2 G static turn over test. The thing about the test is that it gives a signal that is very
