That looks like a classical underdamped PLL response. You usually see this
sort of hump in a phase-noise plot when your PLL is about to break into
oscillation. :)

That's an interesting graph.
I find it strange that the free-running system is better than the locked
system in the range from 50 to 5000 seconds.
Does that mean the filter needs

Very nice. Thanks! (I'll report when I have my holdover experiment

One option is to use just the programmable divider part of a PLL IC,
such as those from National Semiconductors or Analog Devices. Or, use a
Hittite HMC394 programmable counter preceded by a fast /2 flip flop.

I have had good success with the Garmin 15H indoors achieving DGPS / WAAS
positioning accuracy.

Mike, you did inspire me to do the follow-on experiment. I'm now
measuring the two units again, but this time with the antenna on unit 2
(the not-as-good one) disconnected just at the start of the run. It'll
take about 4 days to gather the same data as the other plots, so be
patient. :-)

Thanks to all of you who gave me suggestions. For only a test, I would
think only a PC connection plus software would be needed. The ! PPS
output would only be useful if I could use the units as a timing
module, which I do not think is correct for the Garmins I have been
looking at?

Maybe I am not totally awake yet or have too many other things on my mind,
but, I do not understand your plots. I assume the measurements were made
with one Z3801A being the DUT and the other the reference, and, both locked
to GPS at the time. While it is probably available someplace, maybe

I realized that there hasn't been data posted about how the Z3801A
performs when operating normally in GPS lock mode -- TVB's excellent
page focuses on the oscillators when they are free running.
So, I just did an experiment measuring two well aged Z3801As in GPS lock
against one another. No huge
There was a thread some time ago just about that. It was probably 2007, so
if you look in the archives, you should find it.
I will look for it too, as I want to index it for future reference, and if I
find it first, I'll post it again.

By the way,
If you do get a Garmin 15, make sure it is the "H" or "L" model which has WAAS.
The
regular model "15," which is cheaper, does not have WAAS.

If you go to the Garmin web site and look at their OEM page, you can order the
OEM versions for around $55 from Garmin directly. I have one of their models, a
15xx OEM module (including the pigtail cable). It has PPS stated as good to 1us
but I was told it was actually good to 100ns with SA turn
