Regarding the improved integrator A9 in the 5065A Rubidium FStandard. (Series 2632) I have copied some of the improvements (?)that HP made to the 5065. The A7 AC-Amplifierand the A9 Integrator. Regarding the A9 Integrator: I noticed that there is nothing that prevents the [-EFC] signal from going

Ulf, The new A9 was only installed in units that had the 10811 installed so HP was not concerned with it working with the 105 oscillator. In the 10811 interface the EFC from A9 goes thru a 316K resistor to a 147K (nominal) resistor to ground. This forms a voltage divider the feed the 10811 EFC pi

Hi The 70 or 100K resistors are in there because they are a dirt cheap way to isolate the RF on the diode from the DC control signal. If by some strange error, the diode actually *has* leakage near its ratings, they could be an issue. Real world diodes don’t ever seem to have measurable leakage
