[time-nuts] GPS: ADEV or MDEV?

2007-04-09 Thread Brooks Shera
In view of recent interest in the Allan Deviation of GPS-based 1 pps time, it should be mentioned that the calculation of ADEV is based on a statistical model which is not completely appropriate for noise sources present in GPS signals and their decoding hardware/software. For example, white pha

[time-nuts] GPS orthodontics: sawteeth & hanging bridges - the effect of time averaging

2006-12-21 Thread Brooks Shera
Recently there has been some mention of the influence of 1pps sawtooth and hanging bridges jitter on the performance of a GPSDO. It would seem to me that the jitter must average to zero in the long run, for if it did not the 1pps signal would drift away from its relation to UTC. But the questio

A handy passive frequency doubler can be made just using a double-balanced mixer. Feed 5 MHz into the X and R ports connected together and take 10 MHz out of the L port. You'll loose a few db and the waveform becomes rather triangular but if your goal is to sync the internal oscillator in a co

Inspired by Ulrich's lead regarding the high resolution TDC, I asked the Acam US rep for a quote on the TDC GP2. As Ulrich indicated they are not too expensive: $28 quantity 1, $26 quantity 10. Sounds great. Temperature coefficient isn't quoted but it will be considerable - presumably can be

[time-nuts] M12+ phase jump due to WAAS/EGNOS DGPS corrections?

I received the note below from Ernie Peres in Germany which reports an effect consistent with an occasional phase jump in the 1 PPS output from a M12+ rcvr, perhaps related to DGPS corrections. The DGPS sats Ernie sees from his location are part of the EGNOS system. The DGPS sats visible to

Magnus is correct that many Rb's have a voltage input EFC control. But in case yours needs a current source, the note below, which is an excerpt from some notes on how the drive an Efratom FRK-L from a gps controller, might be a start. The FRK-L has one end of the C-coil grounded and the other fed
