Hi
This is not a bad way to a feed ( via appropriate limiters) to
counters for things
like ADEV. Itâs not a very good way to do phase noise â¦. The floor
will be a bit
high and the âfoldingâ process will make things a bit tough to sort
out â¦.

recent project, using those identical MTI 10 MHz OCXOs (the subject
of my recent info search) for initial experimenting. The baseband
analyzer will be the HP3561A (0-100 kHz).

fixed 100 Hz offset for 10 MHz, and 50 Hz for 5 MHz. I found I have
a nice old 10 MHz OCXO that has mechanical tuning only, that will be
committed (built in) to this project. It's set now for 9.9999 MHz
(10 MHz - 100 Hz). I have no suitable 5 MHz OCXOs for this, so
figured on dividing the 9.9999 MHz by two when needed.

making one, I can't seem to find much detail. I found a number of
commercial ones like at Wenzel et al, but not much in the way of
design detail. John M's ke5fx site has a good example for 80-40-20
MHz, but I can't seem to find any of the linked papers and such that
were the basis. What I'm hoping is to find one or more examples of
designs already figured out for 10 MHz/2. I think there must be some
out there.

I've been wanting to get for a very long time. I've had a fully
loaded (all bands) HP11729C for many years, to go with it, and
finally be of use. In the TIM department, I have a busted HP5370A,
and a good HP5372A.
