I want a distribution amplifier to distribute 10 MHz from an HP GPS receiver to various bits of test kit - spectrum analyzer, VNA, signal generators, HP 5370B time interval counters, signal generators etc. Currently I am using 75 ohm video amplifiers, but I suspect that is sub optimal. I also don't like the form factor of this amplifier - I would prefer a 19" rack mount unit.
Does anyone know how well the Racial 9478 performs? If my understanding is correct this is not simply an amplifier, but has its own internal high stability reference oscillator, which then feeds 9 independent outputs, all of which have their own amplifier. The internal OCXO will phase lock that to an external reference. Fundamentally, it does not seem a great idea to me to lock one OCXO to GPS then lock a second OCXO to the first OCXO. But maybe I am mistaken. I have the chance to buy one for £150 (GBP) but are a bit worried the performance. Any comments?
