1-to-8 Pulse and Frequency Distribution Amplifier

This 1U 19" rack project houses two boards, one 8-channel logic-pulse distribution amplifier (pda) board (i.e., for 1 pulse-per-second signals) and one 8-channel frequency distribution amplifier (fda) for typically 5 or 10 MHz sine-wave signals. The boards can be built with either BNC or SMA connectors. DC power to the boards is supplied by two +9VDC “brick” powersupplies via a 230VAC IEC-connector on the back panel.
