On the 10 MHz fundamental I only measure the HP8562E PN flloor meaning that the TCXO phase noise is better than the spectrum analyzer noise floor. I`ve measured some harmonics from 20 MHz to 1 GHz. There are still measurable harmonics up to 2-3 GHz. 2. TCXO Slew rate have been measured at about 2. 5~3ns/V = 400V/us which

is the minimum requirement or slightly lower. I`ve tried different sources without any change in the output phase noise. An improve might be to use an ECL gate for instance between the TCXO and the ADF to drive the REFin, right 4. apprently yes the ref pin on the opamp seems clean. It`s derived from P3VA with a bridge resistor. This is a modification brought on the prototype as the schematic above show a connection to GND. I`m going to add a capacitor on it to improve if needed. 5. Figure below is the PLL chip on top and the OP184 on bottom. tracks are short, grounding made as short as possible. On things which might be improved, the PCB which contains mixed parts has one GND plane only. I`ve tried to ensure that dirty and clean signals do not mix by locating them properly, but this could indeed be not enough. But I do not measure things on P3VA side.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
