Here is a set of performance plots for the FE5680A that we had  measured
before.

Performance has improved significantly, ADEV is now in the xE-012's.

Phase noise and spurs are worse than originally reported, they kind of
suck.

Frequency over time looks quite nice though, definitely quite useful as a
frequency reference.

bye,
Said

Your vertical units per division for the frequency plot don't make sense.
Please re-check and let us know.

Thanks for posting this.  The slight hump in the adev plot at approx 1,300 seconds is interesting (and similar to what I am seeing in another Rb from another vendor.)

Hi Said,

Excellent plots - what program/ how are you producing the plots?

Hello Bill,

They are printed to a postscript file by the TSC5125A using the "print" button on the tsc.

After FTP download I use Acrobat Professional to convert the PS file to PDF.

Results in good quality plots with small file size.

Bye,
Said

Mike,

Buy $500 worth of silver coins or bars today. Should get you about 15 ounces.

Within 3 to 5 years you may be able to trade that for a used TSC5115A...
