Hi Next layer to this onion is that the low(er) frequency signals out of the mixer have slow(er) edges. There has been a lot of discussion on the list in the past about Dual Mixer Time Difference (DMTD) setups. The fast answer is in a paper by a gentleman by the name of Collins. on how to do th

Dear John & Magnus, thank you very much for your detailed explanation. I realize that the averaging topic is much more complex than I thought - it certainly gives me something to think about :-) I never thought in terms of noise bandwith in this application, thanks for putting me on this trac

I've been trying to locate a manual for the MtronPTI M9101 series GPSDOs, an M9103 series manual would probably also be ok. There are references and links online to a PDF manuals section on the MtronPTI web site but those links just bring up errors and they seem to have removed everything o
