Paralleling devices reduces noise. Why do you think otherwise? Noise will be reduced by the square root of the number of devices you parallel.

The HP sceme in the patent refers to an array of series and parallel
diodes to reduce noise.
Just paralleling them does not reduce the noise!
The 4 paralleled in the 5065 are to give enough phase deviation for the
low modulation level applied. (150mv)
The symptom was a fluctuating 2nd harmonic meter reading and coresponding
fluctuations at the A7 TP2 test point.
John I could not see the info you refered to?
