[time-nuts] Update -- Comparing 10 MHz Oscillators at 10 GHz

2011-01-26 Thread Brucekareen
Thanks to some help from Joe Ruggieri, I finally managed to get a pair of 10.000 GHz microwave brick oscillators phase-locked to 100 MHz inputs. These require an input of about 0 dBm at 100 MHz and have an output of about + 13 dBm at 10 GHz. To gauge whether or not loop noise would
