Hello, time Nutters-- I have been phase locking the freq counters in my HP 6-GHz VNA, Tektronix spectrum analyzer and bench freq counter to the 10 MHz signal from a Trimble Thunderbolt via a 4-port distribution box and long coax cables to each of the instruments. This works well but is a pain in the tush connecting to long coax cables when the bench test gear are moved around.
A friend suggested looking into some MEMS TCXO's made by SiTime to do this with. SiTime offers a wide variety of Stratum-3 TCXO chips. One of them is the SiT5358 which is spec'd at 0.05 ppm from 1 to 60 MHz. https://www.sitime.com/products/super-tcxos/sit5358 I am wondering what any feedback thoughts might be on this from the Time-Nuts gang? An eval-PCB board for the SiT5358 chip is available. What say the Time-Nutters gang about this approach for incorporating a small SiT5358 eval-PCB board into my bench test gear for phase locking to? I am also wondering which of the SuperStratum3 TCXO chips might be the best choice for a project like this? Any feedback on this is most welcome!
