There is now a first draft of the 'DDS-board', a 4-layer 100mm x 100mm PCB with an ADF4351 PLL+VCO, and two AD9912 DDSs over here: https://ohwr.org/project/microstepper/wikis/2020-06-02-DDSboard-draft (kicad sources in the repository at https://ohwr.org/project/microstepper/tree/master/ddsboard) I

Hi Scope basics: It is not unusual for a scope to have an input channel with a capacitance of 10 to 20 pf. That does not sound like much but …. A 10 MHz square wave has significant energy at 30, 50, 70, 90 MHz (and on up). Unless a coax is terminated at all these frequencies they will be reflec
