Re: [time-nuts] GPS discipline oscillator vs phase lock

That sounds like phase-locking the oscillators to a local radio transmitter.  Not sure there is any difference post-processing vs. real time. - Lifespeed Hi A far more common approach is to let the two oscillators free run and to record something like a local broadcast station. You then pos

Re: [time-nuts] GPS discipline oscillator vs phase lock

I was afraid of that, I guess it doesn't hurt to ask.  Perhaps I could implement an ISM band radio link for the purpose of locking the two oscillators.  Of course that wouldn't reach a couple miles either. - Lifespeed Hi A *lot* depends on your definition of “phase locked”.  If indeed you

[time-nuts] GPS discipline oscillator vs phase lock

I may already know the answer to this, but I figured I would ask the time nuts anyway.  I have an application where I would like to phase-lock two oscillators together, probably 10MHz OCXOs as they have particularly good Allen Deviation compared to what I would ultimately like to use, a 100MHz c

[time-nuts] phase noise in digital divider, 2nd harmonic

Hi, Been a while since I visited, I recall there are many, well, time nuts here. I am trying to track down a source of phase noise in a frequency synthesizer design. One part of the frequency reference upconverts a DDS and then divides it down again using a digital divider - standard techniqu
