[time-nuts] Minicircuits SYPD-1

[jerry]

Hello,  
I'm playing around with various methods of collecting data for oscillator testing and would like to try the loose PLL which requires a phase detector (PD).  I'm testing an AD8302 but that has a flat spot around 176 to 180 degrees.  One of the papers I read recommended the subject PD but it is out of stock everywhere, including the subs. One Minicircuits PD is in stock but pricey.  I can try a double balanced mixer like the SBL or TUF series (which I have on hand) but I thought maybe someone on the list has the subject PD they dont need.   If so, please send me a note.
I'm slowly gathering parts for Riley's small Dual Mixer Time Difference test kit but it will take some time which I'm unfortunately running out of due to mild Parkinsons getting in the way of SMD soldering. I've used my HP 5371a in the past but it sounds like a jet engine.  I recently ordered a TICC as well.  By the time I'm done I probably will have purchased more than a commercial  product, ha!
