I am currently using a HP 58540A GPS-disciplined OCXO as the frequency reference to an ICOM IC-7800 transceiver. I am looking to improve the phase noise performance of the 58540A.
Although some HP 58540A units contain the MTI 230-series OCXO, I have been considering the MTI 260 series for its superior phase noise performance but it uses a larger PC board footprint. The PC board in the 58540A seems to have accommodated several OEM's form factors as evidenced by the PC board silk-screen. Does anyone have any suggestions as a replacement OCXO with excellent phase noise approaching -160 dBc @ 1 kHz? Are there any special precautions or other alignments required when dropping in a replacement OCXO? Thanks!
