The doubler/divider might not be needed,  but I think it will give a more symmetric output.  I might include a space for a 10 MHz TTL oscillator for non time-nut users... hopefully it might be stable enough over the short time interval for a cal measurement cycle.


once upon a time, I was experimenting with digital signals to derive
stable RF transverter
LOs. I've "found" that feeding a XOR gate with a signal and his
replica delayed by 2 inverters
did result in a crude frequency doubler (well it's rather an edge
detector). Since I was going to use the double frequency just to drive
a divider by two, the actual duty cycle out of the doubler didn't
matter.
