I have made a similar board for Morion MV-89, MTI-260 and HP10811.
It has regulators for all voltages required (worst case for all types),
can lock to an
external reference ( ring mixer from Macom/Pulse el cheapo transformers
and and diode quartet),
LMH6702 buffers), power level indicator for ref, usual Wenzel style diff
amp squarer
or Linear technology squarer depending on personal preference.
It can produce 1pps from the oscillator with either a $1.50 CPLD
or TVB's PICDIV. 1pps drives 3V into 50 Ohm. Should be enough for
contemporary
CMOS. The CPLD has enough resources to lock the OCXO to an external 1pps.
That has not been tested, I also have no PICDIV. But there isn't much to it.
There is also an SMA for external EFC.
The output amplifier can deliver 20 dBm and act optionally as a doubler,
5 to 10 MHz
for example. There are 2 harmonic notches with either crystals or toroids.
I only had to click together some macros from my library, and since
especially the 10811
needs so much space, there was free epoxy, so to say. The board could be
sawed to
to pieces in principle, if someone should be interested in LMH6702
buffers, mixer,
doubler... There is some "air" between the functions. The subcircuits
have I/Os on a 100 mil grid
so they can be easily arranged on Vector board. (with a ground plane,
please!)
Circuits / Gerbers / Altium Designer files are available.
I wanted to lock 16 MTI-260s loosely to a common reference and Wilkinson
them together to see how far I could come wrt phase noise. I have them
already here,
but I'll find no time for that in the foreseeable future.
That guy who sold the LUCENT KS24361 plug-ins had made me an offer I
could not deny.
Ask me if you need Lucent spare parts! I was only after the oscillators.
My interest has kinda slipped into 1/f noise in baseband and chopper
amplifiers.

While I'm at it, this is the phase noise of the FE405 that I got from
the group buy
here, some time ago.

Is that uproar far out normal? But over seconds to minutes it dives
down nicely into E-13 land.
