I have seen how it skews both ways. With a very sensitive hand a minimum
can be found which can be fairly low, such as 13 ps but then I had tuned
the 200 MHz section carefully. Getting such low results on a general
signal is not possible. Also, the ref out of the HP5370 has a wideband 5
MHz signal with overtones noise which can be removed if modified.
Modifications requires one little short-out.
Cheers,
