[Hackrf-dev] 10MHz clock

The rubidium is ‘0.5 V RMS into 50 ohm sinewave’ so I need feedback from the hackRF team here, if it would be OK we’ll buy a few.

According to the HackRF schematic, CLKIN expects a 10 MHz, 3.3V CMOS signal. According to http://www.perdrix.co.uk/FrequencyDivider/, the Thunderbolt has a 2.5V peak-to-peak AC signal, so it needs to be run through a clock shaper to drive the HackRF. 

 

But this is just a guess.

Hi,

 

Would a Thunderbolt signal lock on a hackRF?

BTW is it hackRF or HackRF ???

I was just going to say "Trimble Thunderbolt?" I guess it's not less portable than a laptop and power brick, but that ovenized oscillator is going to be tough to power from USB.

Hi,

 

Please suggest a 10MHz solution for the clock in, this question has been asked in my Yahoo! group and I have no idea. Is this documented anywhere? Would be interesting to have a portable solution rather than carrying a big Rubidium standard around J . Would my Trimble Thunderbolt work?

 

Toodles…
