Hi Bob, The OCXO is one of those 26-MHz ebay Pletronics from a couple years back. I would like to not degrade its close-in phase noise (quoted as -100 dBc @ 10 Hz, -130 dBc @ 100 Hz). Thinking about Said's suggestion to phase lock a higher-frequency sampling clock to this, with a loop BW somewhe

In my quest to learn Verilog and get my hands dirty with software-defined radio, I'm currently designing a direct-sampling shortwave receiver. This uses an 80-MSPS ADC, which requires a low-phase-noise oscillator, e.g. Crystek CVHD-950 or Abracon ABLNO. It would be nice to have some provision for
