[time-nuts] Low Additive Phase Noise 10 MHz Amps

[Bill]

Thanks to all for the response but the distribution amp additive noise can be a real problem since the 10 MHz to be distributed is -170 dBC/Hz at 10 KHz and needs to be preserved if at all possible.

BTW, the Ettus Octobox doesn't have a spec for additive phase noise, so that's out.

Again thanks...Bill

Hi

For any “real world” source being distributed, simple high speed CMOS buffers will not add enough noise to matter at 10 MHz. That of course also assumes that the target gear is the normal bunch of instruments that we all play with.
