5.2 High Stability Oscillator
The high stability oscillator provides a low-phase noise frequency stable 10 MHz source
for the up converter, down converter, and IFLO synthesizers.
The oven, which is provided for additional stability, operates directly from the 12V
power source. The electronic control circuitry is buffered by an active filter.
The sinewave output is converted to a CMOS square wave before cabling to the
synthesizers.
Refer to Figure 5-4 for a block diagram of the high stability oscillator.
