They are neat toys, aren't they? :-) I discovered them a couple of
years ago. Since then I've collected a few from ebay to play with.
They're oddball units with no documentation, but they weren't too hard
to decipher. I even cobbled together a phase-lock system for one. It
worked, but it was too noisy for my needs. It seems like YIGs have been
superseded by VCOs for most applications - but I'm by no means an expert.
I've collected some random PDFs and other files about YIGs. I zipped
them and put them on Mediafire. Help yourself.

Hi, maybe this topic is a bit boundary for this list, but i´ll just
ask for general directions....
I´ve discovered these wonderfull bits of hardware called YIG (Yttrium
iron garnet) Oscillators (and filters!) in Ebay. If someone doesn´t
know what i´m talking about, they are very broadband tunnable
oscillators and filters. Now, the questions:
1) Does someone has some good references about them?
2) Can I get them new from somewere in decent prices or just collect
the trash from ebay? (as most of our Rubudium, OCXOs, Thunderbolts, etc)
Thank you for any help...
Daniel
