Besides temperature compensation for holdover conditions you should also include drift compensation for OCXO aging. The Trimble GPSDOs, HP 38xx and 53xxx GPSDOs, and Oscilloquartz Star-4 do this. Oscilliquartz calls it ATDC (Automatic Temperature and Drift Compensation). For many OCXOs th

To be clearer, I should have said that it helps to stabilize the temperature of the whole system, to make the thermal time constant longer than the response time of the loop. I have found that putting the GPSDO in a picnic cooler with several large water bottles reduces the impact of daily tempera

Thanks to everyone who has responded so far. My underlying interest is learning about 1PPS holdover methodologies in the presence of environmental changes (think outdoor day/night temperature cycles). My thoughts are that there are two ways that seem obvious to me to implement a temperature-stabl

Hi …. ummm ….. e …. cost wise a “pure FPGA” approach may or may not be best for a GPSDO. Functionally it will do everything you need to do and more. Indeed you will need one that is big enough to do the job. That’s getting ever easier as time marches on. Tools are generally a matter of what y
