Another suggestion: fire up ADISimPLL and create a few different designs with various damping factors and combinations of VCO noise and loop BW. It'll only take a few minutes, and the resulting plots will show both the individual and summed contributions of the different noise sources in a way that will instantly clue people in. -- john, KE5FX Miles Design LLC _______________________________________________ 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.
