Analogies to broadcast timing are interesting, but that seems like a non-starter today due to multiple cascaded codec latencies. The video formats I know that use timestamps for historical reconstruction, just recorded a human-readable timestamp onto the video itself at original recording time.

You might want to re-scope the start and stop channel outputs where they cross A4 and verify against the front panel labels. The signal line crossing A4 that lines up with frontpanel start is start and the one that lines up with stop is stop. I mention this because the A3 board is a carry

Hi I sort of suspect that if there *was* a system “broadcasting” time over the internet (other than NTP) we all would be fooling around locking up oscillators to it … Yes, streaming and time stamping are not the same thing. These days though, the two probably get crossed between a lot. Bob >

Such blanket statements aren't a particularly useful guide unless calibrated by measurements. For example the OPA653 has a measured PN floor of around -163dBc/Hz for a +13dBm input and the measured PN @1Hz offset is -150dBc/Hz (comparable with the NIST isolation amps).However the voltage noise

Hi To go through the whole deal a step at a time *assuming* that broadband noise is the only issue: -147 dbm noise per Hz +10 dbm signal => -157 dbc / Hz half to AM, half to PM => -160 dbc / Hz ssb is already taken care of (noise on both sides if it’s broadband) => -160 dbc / Hz Now,

[time-nuts] PPS phase between two GPS units.

2015-12-21 Thread dan
Hi All,   So I've been playing with some timing hardware here, and have noticed something rather curious. I have two otherwise identical Lea-6T GPS modules, configured exactly the same. These units are tied to the same antenna, with a splitter with the same length cables running to each unit.

I think you are doing the right test to see if the splitter delay is the issue 21 ns is mighty small and a real possibility. Regards Paul WB8TSL On Mon, Dec 21, 2015 at 8:24 PM, wrote: > Hi All, > > So I've been playing with some timing hardware here, and have noticed >

Do those modern CMOS gates use deuterated wafers?I've not found any measurements of the PN of modern CMOS gates.The measurements of devices like the venerable 74AC04 indicate a PN floor around 10dBc/Hz worse than that. Bruce On Tuesday, 22 December 2015 3:00 PM, Bob Camp
