[time-nuts] HP10811 vs 00105 OCXO

2015-08-06 Thread cdelect
Luciano, I have found that "selected" 10811 units will offer significantly better short term stability as a stand alone or open loop oscillator over the 105 style oscillator. (Mid parts in 10-13th from 1 to 100 Seconds) However with the 5065A locked the performance will be driven by the loop and

Hi HP 10811’s vary over almost a 100:1 range in terms of ADEV performance at short tau. The standard model is un-sealed so it has some issues with humidity when it is in storage for a long time. In both the case of the 10811 and the 105, their stability will improve as they are on power. In th

Hi Corby, I agree with you that if selected, there may be many differences between objects of the same type. Unfortunately it is very difficult to know what is selected and what is not. For example I found a 10811 mounted in a Z3801A who have the temperature set-point completely wrong. I r

Hi If that data is correct, then the 10811 you have is defective. Bob > On Aug 6, 2015, at 11:37 PM, tim...@timeok.it wrote: > > > here the ADEV of the two oscillator. I have added the Super performance of an > HP105B (old oscillator) bought in an Ham fest. > > Luciano > > > > On Fri 07/0

Hi The outer oven in the 3801 was put there for a very specific purpose: When the 3801 was designed, they had a target specification that included a warmup from -40C. The 10811 was never designed to work at these temperatures and simply could not meet the required warmup time. The “solution”

Hi Luciano. That is interesting. Thanks for sharing this. I also have an HP105B with the old style oscillator. (An auction site purchase from years ago.) Yours seems at bit better than the one I have at tau's of approx 100 seconds or so. I'm curious if you have any data for longer tau's ?

Hi all, I try to ansver to all you: Luciano, how was the blue trace taken? Is this from your DMTD project? If so, it's looking promising. The green and magenta traces are definitely in the right ballpark for measurements on a 5370-class counter. At 3E-11 @ t=12s the magenta trace is optimistic

Hi Ok, so John’s observation was the correct one. The data we are looking at is *not* the performance of the OCXO’s but the strange behavior of the counter at short ADEV Tau’s. Sorry for my bashing your poor 10811. Bob > On Aug 8, 2015, at 12:25 PM, tim...@timeok.it wrote: > > Hi all, > >

Hi All 10811 OCXO’s have 10 MHz 3rd overtone SC cut crystals in them. They are the first commercial (as opposed to military) OCXO to use the SC. The target was good phase noise rather than good short term stability. They did quite well for the era in terms of phase noise. Back then and now,

Ulrich, If you're interested in a very good 5MHz OXCO, then I recommend the MTI Milliren model 260. (see Ebay # 271915776504). The data sheet is available.from several places, including MTI's site. The daily aging rate for it is spec'ed at 5e-11, thermal stability is 2e-10 over -30C to +70C. T
