[time-nuts] typical phase nosie and ADEV plot of an OCXO

2012-03-14 Thread Attila Kinali
Hi,

I'm currently writing a short article on crystal oscillators and am
looking for plots of typical phase noise and ADEV of an OCXO.
But unfortunately, i couldnt find any, so far. Only discrete numbers
from the data sheets, or phase noise plots only from scientific papers.

Does anyone have something like this at hand?

Attila, TVB and I each have a bunch of plots of various oscillators at 
our web sites.  Tom's are mainly under http://www.leapsecond.com/pages 
and http://www.leapsecond.com/museum; mine are under 
http://www.febo.com/pages and particularly 
http://www.febo.com/pages/oscillators.

And don't forget the usual PDF
http://gpstime.com/files/tow-time2011.pdfwhere you can find the
comparison of typical Allan Deviations from various
clocks on page 7.

Blub.. had a look, both at your websites, but couldn't find them.
I guess i had tomatos on my eyes.

Thanks a lot!

This time, i write only about crystal oscillators and their perfomance,
if you need a bit more than just the 20-50ppm you get out of a standard
crystal. The article will be geared down for decision makers who have
a bit of technical background, but not too much, so it wont contain any
fancy information anyone who's been here for more than a couple of months
doesn't already know :-)

John Vig's presentation is a great place to start.. There's lots of 
copies in various places on the web (IEEE UFFC site, for one)

I know I should add one to the Wikipedia Allan Deviation article. Let me 
know if there is anything other which is missing in that article so I 
can add to it.


What you should have is essentially a bath-tub curve with a 1/tau slope 
for the white phase modulation (WPM) noise, a roughly 1/sqrt(tau) slope 
from the flicker phase modulation (FPM) or white frequency modulation 
(WFM) and then a flat part due to the flicker frequency modulation 
(FFM). See the table in [1].


At higher tau the systematic effect of frequency drift comes in, and if 
included into the Allan Deviation it rises with tau [2]. As a systematic 
effect, it should not really be included into the ADEV plot, but you 
usually see it in practical measurements.


[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_variance#Power-law_noise
[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_variance#Linear_response

The existence of WFM and FFM noises is due to the Leeson model.

Cheers,
Magnus

Juup, that's where the idea for the article came from in the first place :-)

And yes, there are many copies around, often of different versions.
I recently uploaded the 4 versions i could find on the net on Didiers
homepage. They have slight differnces, but not that many...
