Well right you are thats why todays chips have equalizers and such. But then its all getting crazy complicated even though its in a itty bitty chip. My distribution is made of high quality television analog amps and I have in general made amplifiers and such with parts I can still easily pickup and solder to. But still I always do wonder about tinkering with a square wave dist system. Though I doubt I will ever actually do anything. KISS is the general principal. Regards Paul.
"adaptive equalizer" and "precision frequency/time distribution" are going to be very uneasy bedfellows..
Of course, if you're just looking for distribution of house black burst or analog video, that's probably ok. You're looking for good waveform fidelity, rather than precise knowledge of time delays.
In most of the precision measurement systems I fool with we look for parts in 1E10 or better. Say, 1 degree of phase at 32 GHz.. if you're multiplying up from a 10 MHz reference for that, the x3200 multiplication means you need to be pretty savvy about how your references are distributed (and, as well, how a phase change in the harmonic content might screw up the zero crossings)
