Re: [time-nuts] Any Isotemp OCXO107-10 Info?

The specs I found talked about double ovens and a 16 bit D/A converter for disciplining the frequency. Mine doesn't appear to have either of those. Sounds like the OCXO 107 series included a lot of different variants. Ed On 3/11/2014 3:48 PM, Poul-Henning Kamp wrote: In message <531f7161.2

[time-nuts] Frequency Counter using OCXO and MCU

2014-03-11 Thread d0ct0r
Hello, I am experimenting to build frequency counter using external OCXO and ST32 MCU. The OCXO is external DATUM 2750013-1 device which produce 10Mhz sine wave. I connected its output to OC_IN on MCU. I have few challenges now. First, looks like I need to create some delay to turn on MCU _

I just picked up an Isotemp OCXO107-10 Oscillator. I thought it looked like it might be interesting, but it turns out that it's better than I thought. It's got a Dewar flask! I found the specs, but it didn't mention anything about that. So, before I let the magic smoke out, does anyone have

A good point, David. I just picked it up to play with and thought it would be helpful to have the manual or a schematic. I did see that article but it did not have much more information than that it was for WWVB and the new price was $99! Thanks for looking. Tom Holmes, N8ZM -Original Messa

Re: [time-nuts] How to measure phase noise of HCMOS oscillators?

Your main concern will be injection locking, followed by the additive noise of the buffer amps that you use to prevent it. The CMOS output buffers in the oscillators themselves may provide enough isolation, but don't count on it. Injection locking is easy to spot with a scope. You can adjust the
