Hi Roberto, Congratulations! On your very first visit here, you have hit the Bruce Effect. Do not be alarmed! Just place your filter in a temperature controlled oven regulated to a change of 1E-99C for external temp changes of -100C to +200C and you may be alright, I did say "may".
But then, for ham purposes, the phase/frequency changes should make no difference to you. If you were NIST, well that would be another matter. But this is a time-nuts forum and people here think in the 1E-16 range. Some of us here just strive for the best and find that some of our needs are easily covered with much more modest equipment. That does not mean we are happy to accept this limited capability for projects we may wish to do in the future. You have made a wise choice coming here, it has low noise (accept for my posts) and some of the best minds contributing. Keep watching this space and join in to ask question and give ideas. Do not be put off by any comments on what you post, there are high ideals here and some may not be the most tactful people when they make their comments. You will learn a great deal here and you will certainly get the time bug. 73, Steve - ZL3TUV & G8KVD 2009/1/9 Bruce Griffiths <[email protected]>: > Roberto Barrios wrote: >>> The GPSDO I want to use has an output rich in harmonics.
