[time-nuts] Phase noise in stable 32

2018-01-24 Thread slawek dabrowski
Hello to the group, Have you ever used frequency/phase data to estimate phase noise of your O's using Stable32? I probably do something wrong in conversions when using Power button because my plot starts on 10e-7 Hz and ends on 10e0 Hz ___

Hi The CSAC spec sheet calls out an aging rate of 0.9 ppb per month as “typical”. There is also a temperature spec of 0.4 ppb. If both are correct for your sample (*and* aging is linear ) you would be out by roughly 10 ppb per year. There also is a voltage stability spec that might be impacted

Jim: One around 1s/y, one 6 s/y and one 11 s/y. I was looking to do better than 1 s/100 years, but that was for the CSAC. Ronald 1 second/year is quite good - about 30 ppb. It's a bit tricky (like all things time-nutty) - the "aging" on a TCXO could be that good - but the

I do not have great equipment to do the measurement but it is at least this good at 10 MHz as measured on one of my 8642As. I can't measure phase noise at 30 or 100 MHz. Offset (Hz) 10 20 50 100 200 500 1,000 2,000 5,000 10,000 20,000 50,000 100,000 1,000,000 Phase Noise (dBc/Hz) -96.9 -103.0
