[time-nuts] This list

I have noticed that this list seems to send emails out of sequence. I have seen other instances of this, but the two messages I just sent in response to the HP 5060A query arrived in reverse order and show time stamps 30 minutes apart. I sent my replies to the list about one minute apart. Mayb

Re: [time-nuts] RE: Micro phase stepper

I just finished a design using programmable delay lines similar to the Maxim parts (From Data Delay Devices in New Jersey, USA). Was disappointed in the step to step errors. Using the 1nS per step device, I measured the delta of some steps as short as .4 nS. Average of many steps was fine. A

Hi there, My name is Mikael Alexandersson, I have an old Cesium, a HP5060A (sn 055 !). Do you any advice how to start checking up this unit, a quick look inside the unit reveals that it seems a bit different then the HP5061A. If I can't get it in order (as I assume that I couldn't.), I was

[time-nuts] RE: Micro phase stepper

Ulrich, DF6JB asked can someone please explain to me how a micro phase stepper works? Is it a pure digital device or does it make use of analog delay line techniques? What is the maximum delay and what is the delay step size? Here I describe two different types of phase
