Re: HP 3325A Phase noise (and reference clock) as discussed in CuriousMarc's video of Soyuz Clock, Part 6
Trying to compare generators with all the variables that affect PN can drive you crazy, but would be worthwhile. I did tests on a bunch of PTS synthesizers and one of them included a comparison of

Re: HP 3325A Phase noise (and reference clock) as discussed in CuriousMarc's video of Soyuz Clock, Part 6
Very interesting John. Actually, I am surprised as to how good it is. Although, since the OCXO is also at 10 MHz, it would be more interesting to see it at some random frequency. Maybe as compared to

Re: HP 3325A Phase noise (and reference clock) as discussed in CuriousMarc's video of Soyuz Clock, Part 6
I should qualify that -- dramatic improvement at low offsets. More than about 10 Hz from the carrier, the results were the same with either reference.

Re: HP 3325A Phase noise (and reference clock) as discussed in CuriousMarc's video of Soyuz Clock, Part 6
Several years ago I did phase noise measurements on a 3325B. The results are here: https://febo.com/pages/hp3325b/ The unit had the standard (not high-stability) oscillator and my measurements showed

Hi Szabolcs, Only now it occurs to me that Option 001 is only exactly like the Options 001 in so many HP instruments: High Stability Oscillator (OCXO)! Until now I thought that it (also) contained

Re: HP 334A Balance Pots
Just as a slight follow-up, it occurred to me that if this pot does go bad, I can replace the plastic resistive component as well as the wiper with parts from a NEW or NOS pot from the same series

Re: HP 3325A Phase noise (and reference clock) as discussed in CuriousMarc's video of Soyuz Clock, Part 6
Hi, Yes, I somehow expected that without the OCXO option there isn't much point in specifying phase noise. At least it wouldn't be any stellar value anyway. The good news is that you can feed it any
