[time-nuts] Datum 105242-001 pinout

2016-06-10 Thread bownes
My Google fu is weak tonight. I'm out in the field getting ready for the ARRL VHF/UHF contest. Thought I'd bring along the bits for my 10GHz transverter and assemble it during the downtime. But I'm being thwarted. Does anyone have the pinout for the six pin Datum 10Mhz oscillators? Thank

I remember cobbling together a home brew phase noise system 35 years ago using an HP3582 FFT analyzer. It had several available windows: IIRC: flat top, rectangular, and hamming (hanning? I can never get them straight). Basically, if you are looking for spurs, you need to use the flat top.

Hoi Jim, You know, you have this peculiar way of asking seemingly simple questions that are very hard to answer? :-) On Fri, 10 Jun 2016 12:42:13 -0700 jimlux wrote: > Say you have 1 second of sampled data (so the FFT resolution is 1 Hz). > If you're interested in the noise power at, say, 10

Hi If you sit and watch most commercial gear, they go for the “we need more data” approach. Put another way, you don’t get 10 Hz data up on the screen in one second. It’s more like 10 to 100 seconds (some gear can be painfully slow). Bob > On Jun 10, 2016, at 3:42 PM, jimlux wrote: > > W

Using the thunderbolt here. I only asked because a co-worker spotted the altitude and thought it was "wrong" for boulder. -Original Message- From: time-nuts [mailto:time-nuts-boun...@febo.com] On Behalf Of Mark Sims Sent: Thursday, June 9, 2016 10:56 AM To: time-nuts@febo.com Subject: [t

What sort of windows do folks use for making FFT measurements of phase noise. Say you have 1 second of sampled data (so the FFT resolution is 1 Hz). If you're interested in the noise power at, say, 10 Hz away, a rectangular window isn't going to be very far down, unless you have a LOT of poin
