[time-nuts] 3048A Expert Needed

2015-01-20 Thread Ivan.Cousins
Martyn: Two things to be aware of: Injection Locking and loop dynamics. Injection Locking: Injection locking can be observed by manually moving one oscillator frequency closer to the other frequency. If one oscillator jumps to the other frequency then more isolation may be needed. Loop Dynam

Re: [time-nuts] Phase/frequency scaling with TIC measurements (long)

2015-01-18 Thread Ivan.Cousins
For Frequency, Phase, Time and Distance I use: (delta frequency/frequency)= (delta phase/phase)= -(delta time/time)= -(delta distance/distance) This is shown on page 20.16 of Electronic Instrument Handbook, second edition by Clyde F. Coombs. It is a good reference to have available. I looked

[time-nuts] What are some cw signal Generators for ATE test?

2015-01-18 Thread Ivan.Cousins
time-nuts members: What are some signal generators for ATE test? Requirements: 100MHz to >=10GHz (higher would be better) Settling time less than 1mS Reasonable phase noise Cost, less than mortgaging a house.:) Just a single tone that can be moved reasonably fast. IQ modulation not required

Does anyone else have the pn3048 software running on a PC-gpib system? http://www.ke5fx.com/pn3048.htm It has been a number of years since I have used a HP3048A-HP11848A system. I have two HP11848A test sets and a spare PC or two with NI GPIB cards. It looks like this will be much easier to use

Time nuts: Here is a prediction of how it could go on the WWVB chip situation. Moors law will under price the custom chip price in small (and even large) volumes. It already has. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_law A WWVB receiver can now be done on an Arduino microprocessor with a lit

Here is a related Arduino project. http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_TinyGPS.html This is where I get my Arduino boards. I like the 32 bit Arduino processor for some applications. http://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy3.html Just a satisfied customer. John Cousins __
