Hi Bob,
The OCXO is one of those 26-MHz ebay Pletronics from a couple years
back. I would like to not degrade its close-in phase noise (quoted as
-100 dBc @ 10 Hz, -130 dBc @ 100 Hz). Thinking about Said's suggestion
to phase lock a higher-frequency sampling clock to this, with a loop BW
somewhere in the 10-100 Hz range.
I have seen a resistive divider used in a similar application, but
wondered if I could save the couple dozen mA they were spending.
