Hi Alec, You may be in luck. However, I would need some additional pictures, particularly of the connector on the bottom, also some of the inside.
The primary physics package is a stand alone analog Rubidium frequency standard that outputs 50.255* MHz frequency. That signal is used to drive various output board configurations, included inside the unit, to provide a customer required output frequency. The more recent revised units (they look the same) use a new digital scheme that is much more of a hassle. The one that I and a number of people are familiar with is the 5650-option-58 model whose output was a 1pps. To get the 1pps the 50.255+ MHz signal was used to drive a Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) that produced 8.3+ MHz signal that was then divided down via normal TTL dividers to produce the 1pps. The DDS is capable of being changed to other frequencies up to about 20 MHz, however, the filter following the DDS needs to be changed or bypassed to properly filter the new frequency. Bypassing is the easiest method but would require using an external filter to get rid of aliasing and spurs. I put together a zip file of various information on FEI-5650-option 58 that will help you get familiar with the family line. If you have problems with the link let me know. Also, after you get a successful download let me know so I can reduce the FTP storage level, thank you. http://pages.suddenlink.net/stevewingate/cryptic1/for alec on 5650-option-58.zip Bill....WB6BNQ Alexander Wright wrote: > Hi all, > I've recently ripped some FE-5650A's out of some old equipment, but they > seem to be a custom build, here you can see they have the option just > listed as "-": > http://cambridge.m0tei.co.uk/files/IMG_20130330_232647.jpg > > They seem to be single rail (15v) supply with an 800kHz output.
