Hi All,
I read Garry's email about using the 74AC04 as a distribution amplifier.
Did I read it right, does Gary say you will get -178 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz
offset???
Being one of only 3 or 4 companies in the world that manufactures
distribution amplifiers that break the -170 dBc/Hz region at 10 kHz offset,
in my experience any logic gate or Op amp will limit you to about -155
dBc/Hz at offsets of 10 kHz and beyond.
I've tested many competitive units and very few people get below -155 dBc.
I'm not about to say how we achieve -170 dBc/Hz phase noise, but we
definitely don't use op amps or logic gates!!
Regards
Martyn
