[time-nuts] FTS1000A 05818-501 spec's

Hello, all I went a bit overboard on ebay and ended up with a FTS1000A model 05818-501. I've found the datasheet for the FTS1000 on ko4bb's site, but the model numbers does not match up. Does anyone know the spec for this particular model (phasenoise/stability), and if there's reason to suspect

I knew about the GPIB but since I don't use it 99% of the time its not a challenge especially since the only reason I extend a module is to fix it. I did not know that there were 3 bay modules. Learn something every day. But don't own one. Regards Paul WB8TSL On Tue, Aug 5, 2014 at 5:37 AM,

[time-nuts] Effects of noise on EFC line?

2014-08-05 Thread Bob Stewart
I've run into a noise problem on the EFC line of my GPSDO engine at the frequency of the oscillator.  I've traced the source down to the 74HCT365 I'm using to output the 1(or 5)MHz and 10MHz signals.  When I pull it, the EFC quietens down a lot.  I'm seeing about 50mv of 10MHz noise at the

Re: [time-nuts] Effects of noise on EFC line?

2014-08-05 Thread paul swed
OK my 2 cents and others will have better comments. You can use a far larger inductor in the efc line to try to reduce the noise. EFCs tend to be integrated by some cap. So they are slow moving compared to the noise. Better design is separate analog and digital supplies. Regards Paul WB8TSL On

I was able to quiet things down a lot by putting a 100 ohm resistor in series with the 74HC output. If these guys drive more than a few inches of wire, they ring like crazy. Also make sure you pay close attention to the bypassing of the 5V supply. Make your bypass cap lead lengths as short as

For EFC drive, I prefer to use a buffer fed from an analog power, so that the power line noise is not as efficiently inserted into the EFC line. Cheers, Magnus On 08/05/2014 10:00 PM, Chris Albertson wrote: On Tue, Aug 5, 2014 at 11:36 AM, Bob Stewart b...@evoria.net wrote: I've considered
