There is another source of information that is available. Try looking up US patents US4755742 US4678345 US4727340. These explain about the whole system and the sampling heads. I think the best concept is the SD-24 dual TDR head. Ivan Cousins ___ time-

Hi Take a look at how the 60 MHz is generated. I believe that you will find that you have a sine wave that has come out of a logic gate via a low pass filter or that they square it up on the board already. My *guess* is that you could fit a little board with a divide by 6 into the Rb and run i

That reminds me -- years ago I cleaned up, corrected, and annotated a copy of the HP 10544 schematic. I dug it up and just posted it to Didier's site (http://www.ko4bb.com/manuals/). When it comes off quarantine, you can find it by searching for "HP 10544A schematic corrected and annotated".

Bob: The output of the 60 and 20 MHz are sine waves. The 60MHz is very clean whereas the 20Mhz is not. The ebay link has picture of the outputs and they mirror my results. Thanks for the tip on the LT1763, probably better to use a modified schematic of the one I posted and modify the circuit as
