[time-nuts] Allen deviation? Yes indeed that subject again

2016-01-08 Thread paul swed
I have been looking at the subject of Allen deviation and this has been discussed numbers of time on Time-nuts. But my question is this. If an oscillator is stable in frequency but shifts phase 90 degrees and then comes back in a short time. From my reading I don't think that will show up in a typ

Hi The board I have uses high speed CMOS single gate XOR’s. They have a pretty good phase noise floor (-170’s) so they should be pretty reasonable. Bob > On Jan 8, 2016, at 12:16 PM, Richard (Rick) Karlquist > wrote: > > > > On 1/7/2016 3:11 PM, Bob Camp wrote: >> Hi >> >> If your intenti

Hi If your intention is to run a mixer with saturated inputs …. just run an X-OR gate. It will handle the high level signals much better than an over-driven analog part. Yes *somebody* should check out a board built that way …. I’ll let you know when I do. Bob > On Jan 7, 2016, at 7:35 AM, A
