I tried to view the files on amigazone but was 'denied'. Any way to get a look? Am I doing something wrong?
I tried with IE 7 and FireFox with no luck. I have several 10544A's and they all put out a 10 MHz signal but it is sort of a 'ramp like' wave as viewed on the oscilloscope that looks rich in harmonics. My 10811's seem to have a pure sine wave though I have not looked at it on a spectrum analyzer yet. I was going to get around to asking the same question about the 10544A's. Are all mine bad or is this normal function?

I got one of the 544's and plan to use it for rubidium cleaning loop (Efratom LPRO). But I cannot get a clean 10 MHz signal out from it! There are harmonics and spurious. I know that spurious come from oven swicther so those should be easily handled with separate oven supply. But the bigger problem are the harmonics: http://www.amigazone.fi/files/gpsdo/544-4.png This spectrum is measured with emitter follower buffer connected to output which is terminated with 1k like datasheet recommends. So the load should be ideal but still distorted. The distortion can be seen even with oscilloscope: http://www.amigazone.fi/files/gpsdo/544-6.png So it ooks like negative half cycle is distorted. As a reference, THIS is the signal to be cleaned with HP10544A: http://www.amigazone.fi/files/gpsdo/LPRO-3.PNG :-) So... I believe that there may be something wrong with HP10544A if it's output is worse than lower grade xtal oscillators used in LPRO etc. But just to make sure I'm asking you guys having these oscillators. Should it even give clean sine wave or not? And if it should, where should I start to seek the fault? -- 73s!
