[time-nuts] Wenzel 100 MHz Oscillators (w/ EFC) available

2014-12-05 Thread Skip Withrow
Hello time-nuts,

Please excuse the blatantly commercial announcement, I generally keep
business matters off the list, but I have some Wenzel oscillators that may
be of interest to time-nuts and wanted to give you first crack at them.

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
pay...@rdrelectronics.com.  I have attached a picture of one unit with the
pinout.

I have a few of the 500-6769 parts here, and measured a couple of them awhile 
back:

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. :)

I would like one, if you have any left.
How do I pay?
Thanks,

Ok, not an oven, but @100 Hz offset, that ElCheapo Crystek is on par.
If it was a few dB better far out, it would outwenzel the Wenzel, 
phasenoise-wise.

-117 is not a heroic deed. And the oven makes it easier to get along with a
smaller tuning range, that helps a lot. Just forget these temperature corner
cases that are major stumble stones in XO design.

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.

Hello Ulrich,
The units have been paid for and are being sent Priority Mail.   Pleasure 
doing business with you.
 
If you have any feedback on what the phase noise does look like I would  
certainly be interested in the data.
