[time-nuts] SMD TADD-1 distribution amplifier - seeking comments and suggestions?

[Bruce Griffiths]

Also add 

1) BNX002
(attenuates noise in 1MHz to 1GHZ region) between the dc input and the input to:
2) Simple LCR filter - attenuates from 10kHz to 10MHz (see attachment)
Output of which is connected to the regulator input. 

3) Like all the so called RF regulators with internal low pass filters your regulator is exceptionally noisy at low frequencies. 
Try substituting something else - a good one should be at least 20dB quieter at low frequencies

4) Change the input amplifier to something like that depicted in 2nd attachment. Reduces complexity and effect of residual power supply noise. Reduce feedback resistor values.

Isn't that the explanation ?

Any SMPS in the vicinity is going to show up...

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
