They are neat toys, aren't they? :-) I discovered them a couple of
years ago. Since then I've collected a few from ebay to play with.
They're oddball units with no documentation, but they weren't too hard
to decipher. I even cobbled together a phase-lock system for one. It
worked, but it was too noisy for my needs. It seems like YIGs have been
superseded by VCOs for most applications - but I'm by no means an expert.
I've collected some random PDFs and other files about YIGs. I zipped
them and put them on Mediafire. Help yourself.
