); SAEximRunCond expanded to false Errors-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] RETRY Yep, but usually they're not quite _that_ nonlinear. :) I'm used to thinking of mixers as linear devices, from the IMD/IP3 perspective.
I'll build up the 4:1 divider from the Gupta paper as soon as I have time, and see how it works... -- john, KE5FX > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Behalf Of Bruce Griffiths > Sent: Saturday, September 29, 2007 2:56 PM > To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement > Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Basic regenerative-divider questions > > > ); SAEximRunCond expanded to false > Errors-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] RETRY > > John Miles wrote: > >> Did you experience the start of oscillation also as you went from > >> +3 dBm to > >> +4 dBm?
