Re: [ntp:questions] Realistic Performance Expectation for GPS PPS fed ntpd jitter

Things have changed quite a bit in the GPS world lately. u-blox makes a number of timing receivers that get to as good as +/-4 nanosecond RMS jitter (the ZED-F9T). Even the cheaper units are in the <10 ns jitter range. So as a practical matter, the GPS PPS noise is a lot less than the

Hello: The original question was what realistic performance can one expect from GPS PPS. Based on some reading I did over the weekend here is a definitive answer: The 2001 SPS (standard, civilian signal, GPS in the United States) timing standard was 40 ns with
