Hi, I had a play with mine last night. It's far from conclusive but as far as I could tell the three switches have the following effect. Sw1 off = leading zeros shown, on = leading zeros blanked Sw2 off = normal operation, on = display test. Sw3 Unknown, no effect on IRIG B but did cause a change

Hi Brooke, with this specs Stanford Research says: The sheer numerical resolution that the SR620 can display/signalize using IEEE488 is 1 ps. In addition the counter shows a 1 sigma 20 ps noise from measurement to measurement due to a lot of different effects in the inside electronics. In this

Magnus, The oscillator should not be moving too much as the M12M has a TCXO instead of the crystals used on the earlier models. The TCXO is actually much more stable under temperature changes, but it will react a little to a step change such as putting your finger on it. It should drift off a

Rick, If you are talking about injection locking, that will probably not be practical. The Gunn is not stable enough (not the Gunn itself, but the cavity where it will be installed) to stay close enough to the right harmonic to stay locked, and the high order difference between the gunn and

Re: [time-nuts] Antenna failure

Dave et al, Be very careful trying to apply +12V to a GPS antenna. Connector type does not matter. About the only timing antennas I have seen that accept a 12V input voltage are the timing antennas from Micropulse (now Andrew). They are typically rated for 5-26V. This makes it easier to use them

I agree that injection locking may not be ideal, but mainly because it's not that hard to do the job with an actual PLL. Here's an example of a quick-and-dirty Gunnplexer hack with an Analog Devices PLL chip and a Hittite prescaler: http://www.ke5fx.com/gunnpll.html . Close-in spectral purity

Hi Bob, thanks for the specs!! For some reason this unit is slightly different though in it's specs: It only uses +24V, no negative input provided by the Wavecrest PS. If you are right, the -5.2V is only applied to the output to bias it, which is not needed. The -5.2V pin is left
