Harmonics from a Si5351A is not a problem. As pointed out a LPF will do what it takes to get the fundamental frequency "extracted". The Si5351A is designed to clock/feed other digital circuits so that shouldn't be a problem in this particular case either. In the digital clock domain spurs are,

Hi Not quite sure what this has to do with time and frequency but ok …… A spectrum analyzer has a “zero frequency” response. You can see this when you do not have any input. It is clearly present on both of your plots. I suspect you are confusing it with an actual signal. Analyzers are

That's what a square wave is ! A LPF will work on anything. I'm not sure why you are using a class D amplifier though ? Dave G4IUG ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@lists.febo.com To unsubscribe, go to

Chris, In general I'd say that the rather high level sidebands on your signal are not reasonable at all, but I think I see what's *really* wrong: your SA settings. It looks to me like the tall signal is the DC spur, (a.k.a. "start spur") of you analyzer, and the signal very near center screen is
