The optimum sine to square converter is embodied in the Collins style limiter
approach consisting of a cascade of limiting amplifiers each with suitable
individual gain and individual bandwidth, the gain and bandwidth increasing for
each successive stage until the output slew rate is sufficient to drive a
comparator without the comparator contributing significant additional jitter.
Other approaches invariably produce greater output jitter.details here:

Subject: [time-nuts] DMTD downmixer question
Hi there,
I will receive my SR620 soon and want of course to use it as well for
stability measurement using the DMTD method.
I've read many things on how to design the downmixer. There will be a
DDS or low noise generator as LO, the two mixers, and the squarer. There
are apparently many ways to do the squarer. Some of the ways I've seen
are using fast comparator, logic gate, fast amplifiers...
Finally is there a way which looks better than the others ? I was
hesitating between a fast comparator and an ECL logic gate for instance.
Thanks & cheers
Stephane
