>Bizarre that no prescalers have been developed to work on the 3-5 GHz band...
Well at www.hittite.com you will find many low priced prescalers for 3-5 Ghz like HMC251 (3-6,5) and HMC432 (DC-8) HMC363 (DC-12) and HMC365 (DC-13). They all are in the $10....$15 range They also have 10GHz VCO so that you easily can built a locked 10GHz source. Just add an Analog devices PLL and a PIC and thats it. I can provide more info if needed (phase noise etc...) cu Volker, DF7IT/WT0K Weinheim Germany _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
