Hello, all I've started to build up a little collection of various OCXO's, and measuring various deviations and variances and whatnot. I'm putting them into proper enclosures, but up untill now I've adjusted them simply using the Vref through a reasonably low tempco (20-100ppm/C) multiturn pot, with just a .1uF cap on the Vfc pin to ground. Is this in fact the best way to do it? Or is there another (reasonably simple) way to improve on that setup?
I presume the reference-voltage present on most OCXO's are "clean enough" to meet spec, but are there improvements to be had by using a separate low noise regulator, for instance? How about filtering, is there any reason to spend much effort on that, as the OCXO's are in separate enclosures, with coax soldered directly onto the 10Mhz output? Not sure where the noise would come from, but I stand to be corrected.. Sorry if this has been repeatedly answered (as I have a feeling it must have been), but I failed to find it in the archives (perhaps poorly chosen search-terms on my part) Thank you Ole P _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
