I have been working on a compact portable 10Mhz bench standard
using both an FE FE5680A Rb oscillator and an Oscilloquartz ovenized
crystal oscillator. I was curious to see how their short and long term
stability
would work out, and I needed something to drive my 6502 amp to pipe the signal
to
Walter that OCXO sure looks odd I would expect unfiltered to be a lot
better then that. I would guess that several possibilities exist.
The actual crystal is a 5 MHz and it feeds a doubler.
The chain has something thats gone non-linear. -5dbm seems low to me.
Oscilloquartz have a very fine

It is important for a 10 MHz source to launch a pure sine wave
and also to have an accurate 50 ohm impedance at
Hi
If your OCXO is putting out less than 0 dbm, it’s broke. Given the way these
parts are treated
in the salvage loop, damage is not unusual. There are a *lot* of examples of
surplus OCXO’s
with low output. Normally it’s a damaged output cap or something like it. I’ve
seen roughly half the
