The standard config for telecom equipment that runs on +24V or -48V is that they have an isolated input DC-DC converter in them. The input voltage goes through a full bridge rectifier that makes them insensitive to input voltage polarity. On the ones that I have played with they worked fine

Folks, Please be careful about definitions in this discussion. To some people, "phase noise" refers to sideband noise, away from the carrier, arising from some form of random phase modulation of the carrier. To others, the same term refers to the underlying phase modulation itself. While

The power supply is auto sensing and spec'd at +24V or -48V, which implies the polarity would be the same in either case, but the auto sensing doesn't seem to imply sensing right across that range. 24 V range is 22 to 28 V at 6A, -48V range is -40.5 to -57V at 3A, I don't recall checking what

Don't worry, the sticker says : 24V 6A or 48V 3A. It means it's a switched mode power supply. -Original Message- From: time-nuts On Behalf Of Richard Solomon Sent: Friday, 15 March 2019 17:11 To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement Subject: Re: [time-nuts] LMU300

Hi All -- I just found out that the last two TICCs from the second manufacturing run have been sold, so TAPR is now out of stock. We are willing to do another run, but frankly our checkbook can't handle the up-front cost when sales velocity has slowed and we don't know how long it might
