Re: [time-nuts] How to measure phase noise of HCMOS oscillators?

Thanks a lot for the input! I will try to use the LMH6702 as buffer. The correct way to measure the HCMOS oscillator would probably be to use a high impedance buffer with very low noise, to simulate driving a 10pF load or so. But I guess that is not easy to do. The LMH6702 voltage noise is

The LMH6702 is a wicked fast op amp which will react accordingly it there are parasitics in the feedback path. I have only used them with well laid out PWBs and extremely short traces to surface mount resistors. Under those conditions, they work beautifully as advertised. Not sure anyone other

A while a go i bought some low phase noise Crystek CVHD-950 and now I want to meas the phase noise of the oscillators. Is it best to try to impedance match the output signal and filter and amplify the hcmos before i feed it in to the phase detector? or Just hope that the signal is high enough to
