The next AREU meeting is scheduled for June 01 at the Bell Shoals Baptist Church.
I brought some equipment for show and tell last meeting but forgot some key parts to make the demonstration work.
I will be better prepared this time (maybe).
The demos I have planned will demonstrate the accuracy of various frequency standards and how to measure their accuracy.
I will bring a GPS standard but I don't have any idea if it will work indoors.
I will also bring a Rhibidium frequency standard that is very close in accuracy to the GPS standard but does not require an antenna to operate.
I will also bring an oven controlled standard that is extremely accurate but not as good as the GPS or Rhibidium standards.
Frequency error will be measured two ways.
One will use a dual trace oscilloscope and the other will use a doubly balanced mixer with a simple analog meter for indication.
I will also bring a scalar network analyzer to measure the characteristics of a directional coupler.
Please come if you can.
Tony
