I'd like to find a spare processor board for the 3586 to play with.
Also I'd like to find the little metal piece that fits over the front panel

I designed 6800 based comms equipment in the 70s.
Would love to scarf the source code for the 3586.

OK, so a digital 'scope is needed or, at least, with memory.

Fellow time-nuts,
I have borrowed Björn's FTS1200 and OSA8600 and that complements my own
OSA8600 and OSA8601.
I use a HP5087A and one of the OSA8600 as references, such that I can
cross-correlate out the reference oscillators. I'm still not quite
satisfied just yet, so I may need to work

Tom has very kindly provided some seriously good cables, which is being

Fellow time-nuts,
I've finally got the time to unpack and start testing the SRS DG535
delay generator. It's a cool little box which lets me generate 4
different delay signals from a trigger, with a 0 delay output. The nice
thing about this unit is that it allows me to program delays with 5 ps

Hi,
I've heard and read some documents about using cross-correlation using
two distinct reference oscillators when trying to measure the phase
noise from a source to reduce the influence of the reference
oscillators phase noise.
Unfortunately, it's still not exactly clear to me how it works ...
Magnus, this is very cool. Can you describe your cross-correlation
setup with the Time-Pod? I'd like to play with it here and compare notes.

Hi Magnus,
Thanks a lot for the concise and very clean explanation.
The cross-correlation part between the two signal was clear enough in
my head but I didn't really see how it would achieve much gain. I
didn't think about averaging many resulting spectrum while they're

OK, to go beyond the simple see-your-resolution, the 535 is needed (and a

cross-correlate and obtain the most probable samples and then do your phase
noise process on those samples. The cross-correlation is only a filter, a

If it is, then you should see a pulse every 2 seconds, lined up with the

Bottom line, the large low-frequency spurs in the FTS plot at 1.4 and 2.9
Hz
will be caused by one of these conditions:
1) A problem with the reference source(s)
2) A problem with the FTS oscillator itself
3) A normal characteristic of the FTS oscillator (maybe its spur specs
