Hi Bruce, Thanks a LOT for your response to Poul's query! I've been searching for DMTD info for a few some time now, and I haven't come up with a lot. Searching for "CERN White Rabbit" got me more in a few minutes than I've found in months. Like Poul, I've become interested in building a DMTD to overcome the limitations of my 5370A, but I haven't had time to actually do anything about it yet.

You could also consider a DDMTD as useed in CERN's White rabbit project.Apart from the sine to logic level conversion its all digital. With care in the design the jitter should be sub picosecond.

Everybody seems to be using traditional diode-mixers for DMTD, and to be honest I fail to see the attraction. Why wouldn't a analog multiplier like AD835 be better idea ?
