Hello All!!
I installed Windows 2000 on the unit, what a deception!!... It is so slow... I think it will not servers any purpose...
My LinkSys CF wifi 802.11b with CF adaptor doesn't work, I test 3 or 4 different drivers with no luck..
So no Windows2000 for me..
However the DOS software v5.10 works well in my new Hard Disk: 8GB CF Card with adaptor.
So... I measure the phase noise performance of the set with my 10 MHz Rubidium Frequency Standard, a EFRATOM LPRO-101 Unit that is very nice, and has low phase noise. I also build a simple ADE-1 Mixer to test if the unit can do Spectrum analysis from 0 MHz, with the internal generator and 1Ghz OL, and it work, of course... Although the ADE-1 is for no more than 500MHz, it works at 1GHz... outside of specs..
I put 7dBm @ 1GHz from the RF2 OUTPUT into the OL input of the mixer, a 30dB pad from the +10dBm EFRATOM source to the input IF of the mixer. And in the output (RF) of the mixer I connect directly to the CMU200 input. The spectrum is clean.
The trending on phase noise in my lab, from the poorer to the better:
RIGOL DSA-815 TG: At 1Khz -56dBc @ 100Hz BW (What a dissaster!!
)
TEKTRONIX 492BP: At 1Khz -69.6dBc @ 100Hz BW
RHODE & SCHWARZ At 1Khz With Mixer AD-1: -72.5dBc @ 100Hz BW
STABILOCK 4032: At 1Khz -76.2dBc @ 100Hz BW
RHODE & SCHWARZ At 1Khz -76.6dBc @ 100Hz BW
