This oscillator seems to have been more a frequency standard then a noise standard. Today's 10 MHz oscillators are different/better, such a crystal is no longer available/made. I have more experience with 100 MHz, 125 and 128 MHz. Once I am back in the USA I will send some measured

I have bought and measured the hp10811 at about -174dBc/Hz. The interesting thing is the feedback capacitor from collector to base which changes Rin=1/gm. Unless the circuit has a hidden Q mulitplier the PN (SSB) can never be better then 177 (kT) in dBm + Pout in dBm - NF of the

Re: [time-nuts] Everything you wanted to know about Oscillators

well, the Pierce oscillator does not give that much freedom, the steady state loop gain should be Pi (about 3) as the RF Gm = Gmo/pi. This analysis does not address the important SSB noise gut guaranties oscillation. In testing enough a loaded Ql of Qp/2 is best for power
