Chuck Thanks and indeed I do need filters that I have not experimented with and in that respect this would be more like some of the circuits discussed here on time-nuts. I am using nice controlled delay lines and at $66 each thats pretty un-attractive. But hey when you get them for 50 cents at a ha

Hi Paul, It isn't that it is bad, it is just that 5 and 15MHz products at 8 to 10dB down isn't very encouraging. To make decent use of this technique, I believe that you would have to install 20 to 30dB of 5MHz rejection, and a 10MHz low pass filter in the output circuitry And, that is in a

Experimenting with a 74ls86 XOR doubler for 5 to 10 Mhz. Typically this would use a 90 degree phase shift to the other gate. The gate acting as a mixer to produce 10 Mhz. The reason to experiment is that I have noticed most of the doubler discussions take a 5 Mhz square wave filter it to a sine wav
