[time-nuts] Looking for a cheap low tempco EFC pot

2018-01-18 Thread Mark Sims
The board has a place for range limiting resistors on the ends of the pot. In one test that I did using a supposedly very good pot, I found that the pot did not have a balanced tempco between the wiper and the ends. I spent a week finding that out. > Basically that gives m

It may not be the best way but what I do with an LPRO is use a 10-turn pot and set it to the center of its range then adjust the internal pot to give me an output of 10 Mhz. Basically that gives me a voltage divider where the top and bottom resistors have the same TC so the offsets pretty much canc

My adapter board for connecting an LPFRS / LPRO / OCXO to my BNC (and now SMA) connector board has a place for a 10K EFC adjustment pot (0.375 x 0.175" footprint). I'm looking for recommendations for a cheap, low-ish tempco pot. I have a few nice ones with a house number on them, but the Bou

Luciano, Not sure what you mean by "two measures made on the same DUT never coincide". The plotter program takes out wraps which since your phase gain is so large are due to happen. For lower Tau measurements just adjust the phase for close to equal and run shorter plots. These can be spliced
