The new 21.5 MHz FSS reference is now installed in the rack with the 7 Sorensen PS. Both outputs give 18.7 dBm. The MC seems happy.
Bob did the +24 V and +15 V hookups for the amp and the Wenzel oscillator respectively, off of the din strips on the right of the rack.
I have attached two photographs. One shows the front of the box as mounted in the rack, and the other shows the inside of the box. From the second photo the circuit is apparent. Black wire coming in has ground, green has +15, and white has +24. After the switches, ground and +15 go to the Wenzel crystal oscillator, and ground and +24 go to the mini-circuits amp. There is 5 dB attenuation between the Wenzel 21.5 MHz output and the amp input. There is 3 dB attenuation between the amp output and the splitter.
The Wenzel crystal oscillator is their "streamline" model, and puts out 13.2 dBm. The amp is mini-circuits ZHL-2. |
