During the past two weekends, WWVB was using its legacy
AM/pulse-width-modulation signal. As of yesterday 21 March 2013, WWVB has
stopped the twice daily 30 minute segments of this format. Going forward, WWVB
will only be broadcasting using its phase modulation (PM) time code protocol.
Does
There have been numbers of suggested and other approaches. I have been
working about 1 year now on a solution. By the way the AM is still part of
the signal. They have eliminated the 30 minute non-pm segment. I released a
spectracom approach 6 months ago for those that have those. The solution I
Fellow time-nuts,
I got the oppertunity to measure a cesium with my TimePod, I hooked up
on the FS 730/1 and noticed a bump in the phase-noise. I by-passed it
and the bump was not there. Turns out that it had a 20 dB increased
phase-noise at 700 Hz. So, we tried the other FS 730/1 they had,
Switch mode power supply ?
FLL or PLL loop?

It's a distribution amplifier, so one wouldn't expect it to have an
FLL or PLL loop -- and the manual does not mention one. However,
according to the manual it does have (in sequence) a low-Q LC input
filter, a rather aggressive
Hi Bruce,
Switcher, yes. But with a fair bit of filtering on it. See page 18 of

Switcher to get +24 V, LC-filtering with two serial 1,28 kHz filters.
Then an LDO (LM1086CS-ADJ) to drop it to +22 V which is actually used.

The switcher loop compensation may cause peaking of reference or other
noise in this region.
Amplifier supply bypass networks together with coupling capacitors can
cause such peaking.

Hi
The hump sounds a lot like power supply noise.
