Re: [time-nuts] GPS with 10KHz output

2013-09-20 Thread Bob Camp
Hi

The biggest issue is sawtooth correction. To take care of the sawtooth issues 
you need to sync up the correction data with the signal into the GPSDO. That's 
a lot easier when both come out once a second than when one is continuous and 
the other is still only once a second.

Re: [time-nuts] GPS with 10KHz output

2013-09-20 Thread Anthony Stirk
Additional information :

The Ublox NEO-6T divides their internal 48MHz clock down so 10Mhz doesn't
divide correctly and is jittery but 8Mhz is fine.

Re: [time-nuts] GPS with 10KHz output

2013-09-19 Thread Anthony Stirk
Just as a note you can reconfigure the time pulse output any of the Ublox
modules (doesn't have to be the timing module) via commands to give out a
pulse up to :

7 Series :0.25 Hz … 10 MHz
NEO-6G/Q/M/P/V : 0.25 Hz to 1 kHz
NEO-6T :0.25 Hz to 10 MHz

Don't know if this helps anyone.

Cheers,

Anthony

Hi Bill,

I have a number of these modules purchased from the particular eBay source
you gave a link for.  They work well but I never found a way to keep their
data output as NMEA as they seem to revert to Binary on power down.  However
if it is just the 10KHz output you want from them or their Binary data

Hi

Based on the plot shown, the GPS is doing about 2x10^-12 at 1,000 seconds. That 
translates to roughly 2 ns at one second. The newer timing receivers can get 
down to about 4 to 5X better than that.

It's not the best thing to use. Since the 10 KHz jumps once a second, it's not 
really very useful. The GPS it's self is not as well optimized for timing

If you ned the 10KHz, Jupiter is one that has been used.  I think a
10KHz GPS will make your GPSDO converge quickly but for long term use
a 1Hz GPS works as well and will be easier t replace years from now.
Also a 1HZ GPS with about equivalent performance is MUCH less
expensive (see ebay 271152854221 which is $15)But 10KHz does allow
a simpler design for the GPSDO that can be done 100% analog
