I have new DDS signal generator FY6800
It is nice generator from 0.001Hz to 60 MHz. It has modulation capability,
(2 generators)
and is god for testing amateur receiver, but there is some problem
frequency has stability 20ppm and this may be a problem.
Problem is TCXO - 50MHz ,

My idea is to change this TCXO with better one.
Does somebody do this?

You could easily get a used 25 MHz OCXO on eBay and use a mini-circuits frequency doubler.
Mini-Circuits-Model-RK-3-frequency-doubler sells on eBay for $15

I don't know how similar the FY6600 and FY6800 models are, but there's a good site about the 6600 including replacing the oscillator here:

That looks like a much easier way to do the replacement. I did a similar thing in one of my Lecroy scopes, which used an 20 MHz TCXO. It bugged me that the time and frequency-related  measurements were not that good. I found a small Connor Winfield 20 MHz OCXO on eBay to replace it with. It made a great improvement in frequency and jitter measurements.

did a google, dont have any details though :-

this one looks more suitable, less than $20, since the TXCO is 25MHz, it is obviously frequeny doubling using the external IC, so dont know what the jitter would be. With all things Chinese, dont believe what they say !!

Hi
If you want to do it yourself -> In the last issue of EPE there is a circuit design for OCXO made from discrete components for stabilizing a clock signal , you can build this circuit and replace the main oscillator , but since it need programming you will need to add small controller to control the synthesizer.

All the best

Stable and accurate clocks can be also achieved with GPS disciplined clock generators.  8) It is a bit more expensive  :( and an antenna is required.  :)

I have finished my dds generator (change reference)
It works ok.
I put TCXO (0,1 ppm) , add buffer to it , and it work perfect.
If , there is interest I will show my documentation?

Please, show it.

Please tell us what you did. Thank you.

Kindly show the documents and prototypes you made
