That paradigm assumes some auxiliary phase detector with better symmetry that the CBT cavity. The CBT cavity is as symmetrical as anything else that could be made, so this doesn't seem to make sense. I can also tell you (having investigated this sort of thing) that adding varactors to the cavity to tune it is a huge can of worms that you want to avoid if at all possible. > solved/improved with the 5071 generation clocks.
