[time-nuts] Low noise power supplies?

[Lester Veenstra]

The typical test supply on a bench for clean VCO testing is a small gel cell
battery.  For a regulated power supply, make one using a 723. The 723 has
far lower noise out than the monolithic regulators.

Subject: [time-nuts] Low noise power supplies?


I know this topic has been discussed in the past on the list, but a
colleague is asking if there are any off the shelf low noise power supplies
for testing oscillators.  Something a cut above an HP "brick" lab power
supply etc.  They are hoping to avoid having to homebrew a power
conditioning circuit.
Did we ever arrive at a concensus as to the state of the art in homebrew
power conditioning circuits?

Any help would be appreciated.
