Hi, Said,

I think that all of the last cheap ebay lot are of the second variety (60MHz osc + 5.3125MHz DDS, very narrow tuning range through serial port message). I remember your phase noise and adev plots on them. But I don't know if the first variety (the ones with a 55MHz or so crystal oscillator and 10MHz DDS-derived output, with wide range of frequency settability through the serial port) are better or worse in the phase noise, spurious and adev sections compared with the second one.

Regards,

Javier

Hello Javier,

I have a couple from that last Ebay lot , and the phase noise/spurs are so bad 
on these that I figured the 10MHz must have been generated by a DDS. I posted 
the phase noise and ADEV plots of this unit to this list earlier this year.

bye,
Said

The FEI-5680A Rubidium that we discussed here some time ago has a much
worse phase noise plot of course, because the 10MHz is generated digitally
through a DDS, not a 10MHz crystal oscillator..

There is a version that generates 10MHz directly through DDS, but the 
particular version we recently discussed a lot about generates the 10MHz signal 
from a 60MHz oscillator, and the DDS is used for generating the ~5.3125MHz 
signal for mixing with the 114th harmonic of the 60MHz to obtain the Rb 
resonance frequency.

I don't remember if someone did a comparison in PN performance between the two 
FE-5680A flavours.

Regards,

Javier
