A Multichannel Dual-Mixer Stability Analyzer: Progress Report

Abstract

A stability analyzer is being developed for frequency standards in JPL's Deep Space Network. Prototype hardware and software have been built. Initial tests on 100-MHz sources show an Allan deviation noise floor of about 7 x 10-15 at 1 second for a dual-mixer channel.
