Neat. Thanks for sharing. With a XOR, you can't tell which input is higher frequency. I think you can fix that with a second XOR and a delay line. I think 90 degrees of delay will provide the most information. At 10 MHz, that's 25 ns. I think that's about 15 feet of good coax. -- These

There is some nonlinearity but it seems consistent from cycle to cycle. I might be able to reduce the bumps with better circuit layout, shorter wires, terminated lines etc. But just for playing around with my initial data, I think I can model the shape of the response and get a more accurate

Having access to two Rb sources and looking at phase shift and jitter is something I find interesting. Has anyone fed two Rb sourced 10mhz signals in to a high-z an op-amp and looked at the output on a SA ? Should probably have at least 100mhz bw on the SA in order to see the events. A few tests
