Incredibly brilliant guy. His renewed downturn is a sad, sad story. But of course off-topic here. |
HP 3325A Phase noise (and reference clock) as discussed in CuriousMarc's video of Soyuz Clock, Part 6
In the video referred to above, Marc shows a large phase noise at low output frequencies as a result of the 3325A's (fractional-N) PLL-architecture. It's really quite significant, completely obscuring less significant setting digits for LF signals observed over intervals of only a few periods. He shows a frequency jitter on the order of several ppm for output frequencies of a few Hz. Imagine what it's like at a few uHz....
I have tried to find specifications of this but haven't found any. Since it's quite a significant feature, I'd like to know if such specifications exist or may be derived for specific models. I tried putting a comment re. this in the comments section to the videos but found out that I have been banned after expressing my doubts about the way Marc feeds the frequency reference into the clock. My two polite posts have been made invisible to others (logged in I still see them) and I haven't received any response from Marc after trying several emails to different email addresses. Not important but annoying. So, I'm addressing this group, hoping for more about the phase jitter. In case anyone is interested, my posts addressed the following: 1. Marc concluded that a 400 Hz carrier with a 2 Hz modulation (100%) is needed at the frequency reference input. The Soyuz clock seems to use a 2 Hz reference inside, right after the input section. Although I like Rube Goldberg solutions at times and enjoyed the setup with a cesium clock (5061A), a synthesizer (3325A) and a 400 (800?) Hz signal generator (8116A), I found the need for the rather complicated signal onboard the Soyuz enjoyable but unlikely. Just the 3325A, for fun's sake driven by the 5061A would seem enough. Maybe the input circuit in the Soyuz clock is broken... Looking at Ken's (?) hand-drawn schematics, I concluded that just a 1 Hz square wave with appropriate edge speed and amplitude should do, since the full-wave bridge rectifier at the signal input would produce same-polarity output pulses from the input circuit at 2x the input frequency already. Using the 400 Hz carrier and (2 Hz) 100% modulation *kills* the internal frequency doubling, so by using that, a 2 Hz modulation is needed. 2. In a second post, I suggested that the diode in the top middle of the drawing probably was drawn upside down. As said, I was - and still am - banned and no contact has been possible. I have built up an input circuit exactly like Ken's in the video, except with the diode inverted as I suggested and with a small (pulse) transformer at the input. It operates exactly as anticipated: 1 Hz in, nice 2 Hz pulse out, duty cycle configurable. I used only a 5V supply and a 4-5V input signal. You may try for yourself if you like. Hint: The bridge output *positive* terminal is at gnd. I wonder why I was banned, resulting in my posts being invisible... Anyway, I'm interested in quantitative info on the phase noise for specific generators if possible or ways to derive it from specs that *are* available. Raymond |

sorry, I need to make one last comment on this, also because I need to travel to Austria regularily because of my mortally ill ex wife whose primary carer I am. Dorit would lie down and die if I can no longer come in and put out the fires she starts. First of all, for the Europeans: I am a member of a protected class myself, mercy of my "noble birth" (father a Syrian, will provide PDF of birth form on request). So, I assume two accounts will now become very quiet. I never played this card in my entire sordid career, but in the last few years, I have had it. We conservatives still believe politics is a ping pong game, and come with mistress, seamed nylons, a pingpong flyswatter and a pingpong ball. Sadly, the other side has decided to bring to a Ninja, chain armor, a powered chucker and a gaggle of Shuriken (like a throwing knife). The whole Nazi affair is a red herring intended to distract from real matters. F### the Hiterlists, who proved their idiocy in military (ME262, MP44), scientific (nuclear research, Heinkel HeS engine) and political (Ukraine, Poland, not understanding penal bataillions, Japan vs China, etc) matters. Nazi crap is not the big issue with free speech - some of my conservative friends might now bash me, but someone who is too stupid to see that Hitlerists are obvious idiots, deserves bad things especially if he is an Engineer. What concerns me is the whole "detain at the pleasure of Psychoanalysis" thingy. Best example is Gustl Mollath - and, at least in Austria, these cases are legion. You commit any "crime" - think five felonies a day, as linked by Carlton Meyer - and you find yourself in a life long sentence. With best regards Tam HANNA Enjoy electronics?

Re: Racks for older equipment
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýOK, what you may not know: 1) the racks are two four foot sections with a coupler on each post.? The better ones give you one set of wheels and two sets of adjustable feet. 2) you can take a hacksaw and cut a section to length if you want. 3) there's lots of extra things that can be found and bought for pieces, extra posts, ties from one vertical to another, and stiffeners. I made a workbench with particle board and these which was a vertical section and an attached bench section.? Worked well enough. Oh, and make sure you use the 1 inch variety.? When you're in a
store, note that not all of the posts are the same diameter. Harvey
