[time-nuts] IFCS 2020 tutorial - low noise electronics for time/frequency metrology

[Peter McCollum]

Very good! I learned a bunch of things!

My suggestions for the earlier parts of the presentation:
- The discussion at the end of the "Types of Noise" slide should be
earlier, very near the beginning of the presentation. That is, start by
giving Context for why metrology has special requirements compared to
other electronics disciplines, and describe those requirements in general
terms (i.e. long-term measurements). THEN discuss the details of the
different types of noise, etc. [Also, the word "limited" is misspelled on
the Types of Noise slide.]
- Similarly, for "Measurements in the Past vs Today" - this is good context
that should be discussed earlier.
- At the beginning of the DMTD section, again add context for "What is the
problem that we are solving?", and "Why is Noise relevant to this
problem?", and "Why is DMTD a good example of the problem?", etc. This may
be "obvious" to an expert like yourself, but it was not obvious to me.
- "Epilogue" is misspelled in the header.
