[time-nuts] New Product Release - GPSDO Frequency Standard

2016-05-18 Thread Bob Stewart
Hi guys, It's time I got off the dime and did a product release of my GPSDO. My mission in creating this unit was to provide a stable and accurate frequency reference with 10Mhz, 5Mhz, and 1Mhz outputs. It does have a PPS output, but that is directly from the Ublox receiver, and is not

Hi While it may not be the only parameter worth considering: The standard deviation of the delta between adjacent pps outputs goes down to below 500 ps on the LEA-6T when sawtooth is applied. Bob > On May 18, 2016, at 7:23 PM, Charles Steinmetz wrote: > > Bert

Nice data Wulf. Once I finish reducing the temp effects I'll post a couple long term AD plots with and without the Barometric pressure compensation and with and without the temperature modifications. Will be interesting to see what kind of difference I get. Cheers, Corby

Attached is a picture of our ublox board that we plan on making available to time-nuts once we have the FE 5680/50 GPSDO under control so it does not wipe out under any circumstances the memory. We will if any one is interested in a board also make the board only available for less than $ 10

Hi Totally disabling the internal reference was a *very* common thing to do on the 5335. It often became a war of switching things back and forth (for various odd reasons). In some factories the ultimate “disable” approach was pretty drastic. Bob > On May 17, 2016, at 10:06 PM, Tom

There is what looks like a decent carrier board for Ublox modules on OSHPARK.COM's shared project library. It has a voltage regulator and RS-232 interface on it... would be nicer if it had a prototype area and swoopty PPS driver, but I'm too lazy to lay out a better one. Three boards will
