Thanks to Bruce and George. The NIST doubler is indeed what I planned to use, or a Minicircuits AK-2. What voltage do you guys measure on the oven monitor output? I am not sure whether this is really 10mV/K. Mine outputs some 4 volts, that would mean oven is >100°C which I don't believe. BR

As usual, Dr. Griffiths has provided all we need. Back in 2007 I had a similar issue and he worked out this very nice circuit using easy to find 2N3904 BJTs. I simulated the circuit using PSPICE. Here are the details. https://www.darksmile.net/ee/frequency_doubler_BJT.html George On

You could use either the NIST CG JFET doubler or its bipolar CB equivalent. Bruce > On 11 September 2020 at 08:43 Tobias Pluess wrote: > > > Dear colleagues > > I recently got a FTS1000 oscillator. (Not FTS1000A or B, but just FTS1000, > I assume it is the first version). It is a very nice

Dear colleagues I recently got a FTS1000 oscillator. (Not FTS1000A or B, but just FTS1000, I assume it is the first version). It is a very nice unit, but I wanted to know a bit more about its construction and opened it. After I had replaced the foam which was already quite dissolved, I began
