Just got a 100 MHz OCXO on eBay: Valpey Fisher VFT22H-100.00MHz. No item info from seller. Google search didn't find datasheet. I'm not super interested in the specs, but I'm curious about the output waveform. Another eBay seller shows the pinout (picture below). The one ground pin is attached to the can, and the other labeled ground in the picture is indeed shorted to the can. If I current limit my power supply to 100 mA, I get a nice sine wave output... but the compensation doesn't work. If I don't current limit, I see the compensation work, and I can warp the frequency with the control pin. About 0.77 V makes it 100 MHz. But the waveform is wonky. I found another person asking a question about the waveform here:

Looks like xrunner has one of these:

After I typed this, I looked back at my purchase and see the seller's description: 100MHz OCXO 20dBm out Step Recovery Diode driver -154dBc/Hz@2KHz OS P.N. VP. So maybe the high output drive is important, and the waveform is not.
