Hi The "high gain" stuff was in relation to the front end that's optimized to convert sine waves to logic levels. It sounded like they are doing some sort of saturated stage and then converting it's output to ECL.

Of course these days, one might have very fast saturating logic that happens to have ECL logic levels and run off that ever so convenient -5.2 V power supply. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
