Hi With any DMTD, the offset between the LO and the DUT is a critical part of the resolution. Without much info on the LO, it is not very easy to work out just what they might or might not be doing. That said, with “normal” offset frequencies, a filpflop would be challenged to hit the sort of

Hi, It would be very interesting to see how it performs, but if nothing else it might help to generate a market for this sort of thing. Most folk don't have the necessary combo of time and skills to design and make their test gear from scratch, but otherwise the options seem very limited at the

A typical system noise floor in the mid to high E-13's isn't really exciting. It's just not good enough for measuring good crystal oscillators at tau=1s, not even to speak of BVA's. Ok for GPS frequency standards. A well built W. Riley Mini DMTD performs better by an order of magnitude.

Hi All of the divide by 2 stuff and the frequency counter on the input would make more sense with a DFF as a mixer. It also might explain the use of a 3V CMOS signal as the “standard input”. It may all be in an FPGA. One thing missing in the info - can the LO be tuned at all? If not, you

The mention of deglitching after the mixers perhaps indicates that the mixers may be flipflops and that the device is perhaps a DDMTD. Alternatively the block diagram is intentionally misleading. Bruce > On 23 April 2019 at 03:11 cdel...@juno.com wrote: > > > Hi, > > A friend directed me

Hi, A friend directed me to this listing. Nice looking DMTD unit. Low power and compact! Has anyone played with one of these yet? https://www.ebay.ca/itm/123728915157?ul_noapp=true Cheers, Corby ___ time-nuts mailing list --
