Re: [time-nuts] sine to square wave circuits - performance data?

2017-10-05 Thread Mattia Rizzi
Hello, I think that the important point about sine-to-square converter is about how you measure the phase noise. If you use such converter, you don't care about the signal noise when the output is clipped. But phase noise analyzers care about that too. That's why Linear characterized LTC6957 addit

The unit I have is locking intermittently and I see a waveform at TP1 on the servo board that is a clipped sine wave when it is locked. The waveform at TP1 when unlocked is about .2V p-p. I am concerned that the clipping on the bottom of the waveform is a problem with the bias on the sync detec

Hello, If I look on the one hour plot it look like it goes in hold mode due to zero used satellites. If my assumption that the light blue graph in the bottom is satellites it sees no satellites during about a minute and after that it selects a fast time constant. From the TIC offset and DAC cha

Success! Converted to a working S250. Well worth the effort... http://www.eevblog.com/forum/metrology/symmetricom-s200-teardownupgrade-to-s250/msg1317144/#msg1317144 ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo
