Re: [time-nuts] Wenzel 100 MHz Oscillators (w/ EFC) available
John & Skip, as I am getting 5 such oscillators, I will open 2 or three (after measurements of the PN ) and apply some magic... To build something like this mechanically will be tough. The technology and circuit design will have changed a lot in 10 + years, so I will try. Opening the units may be the tough part. 73 de Ulrich x I have a few of the 500-6769 parts here, and measured a couple of them awhile back: http://www.ke5fx.com/Wenzel_500_06769_PN.png Not a bad price at all. If a $2000 OCXO can achieve -140 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz and a $50 OCXO will do -117, that's almost 10 dB better than the expected 20*log10($2000 / $50) ratio. :) -- john, KE5FX Miles Design LLC In a message dated 12/5/2014 2:26:24 P.M.

These are Wenzel 500-06769 units, custom number for Harris used in microwave radios. Output is 100MHz at +20dBm. Supply input is +12 volts DC (about 500mA at start). EFC runs between 0.5V and 4.5V with positive coefficient and is about 335Hz/V. Unit is in standard 2" x 2" x .75" package. Output connector is female SMA. These would make great units for synthesizer and DDS projects. I don't have the ability to measure the phase noise, but should be relatively good as they were used at microwave frequencies in their past life. I'm asking $50 each for them and $7 (any quantity) Priority Mail shipping to U.S. addresses only. If you would like one (or more) please PayPal to _paypal@rdrelectronics.com_ (mailto:pay...@rdrelectronics.com) . I have attached a picture of one unit with the pinout.

Re: [time-nuts] 10 MHz oscillators vs 100 MHZ
For the low noise nuts, here are some modern techniques . At the moment I am looking at 1/f noise , or better how to keep it low. I am supervision an dissertation on this topic and I am happy to get some input. 73 de Ulrich U. L. Rohde and A. K. Poddar, “Method Minimizes Noise in VCXOs”, Microwave & RF, Nov 2011. U. L.

Re: [time-nuts] 10 MHz oscillators vs 100 MHZ
Hi John, thanks, I am more interested in the inner workings of the 10 MHz oscillators, and why they are about 10 db shy in phase noise. And yes I have build 100 MHz oscillators with -145 .

Re: [time-nuts] 10 MHz oscillators vs 100 MHZ
Hi from NJ, I am more involved in 100 Mhz to 128 MHz crystal oscillators and their measurements, 10 MHz design is new for me. I have analyzed and measured the famous HP 10 MHz SC based oscillator, disassembled it, admired and measured the crystal. Does anyone still makes such a large and good device. Congratulations to the "inventor" of this oscillator !! Looking at 100 MHz oscillators, they have 18 to 20 dBm output and are advertised at -145 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz offset and - 187 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz, the 10 MHz oscillator just gets -165 dBc/Hz far off with NEL looking as the best. Who can get me up to speed ?
