M/N
LOOP MOTHERBOARD
This assembly
is
attached
to
a
metal casting that forms an enclosed housing for the following
refer¬
ence
—
M/N
loop assemblies:
•
A29 reference phase detector assembly
•
A30100 MHz VCXO
assembly
•
A31
M/N
phase detector assembly
•
ASS
M/N
output assembly
Each of these assemblies has
a
sheet
metal plate attached to
it,
that completes the reference
—
M/N
enclosure.
The
enclosure provides RFI (radio frequency interference)
shielding.
A51 10
MHz FREQUENCY STANDARD
This
is
a
self-contained, oven-stabilized, precision reference oscillator. The output of the
A51 fre¬
quency standard
is
sent to the A29 reference phase detector assembly through the rear panel jumper.
