[time-nuts] Low cost high resolution software sawtooth error correction

2007-05-17 Thread Dr Bruce Griffiths
Software correction of the sawtooth timing error of a GPS timing receiver can be used to discipline an OCXO at a similar parts cost and performance to the hardware sawtooth correction method. The OCXO sinewave output is sampled by the leading edge of the PPS signal and corrected for the

A small correction/clarification to the paragraph on the effect phase detector gain error. The input sinewave amplitude only has to be known to within a few (5%) percent to keep the effective sawtooth correction error due to the phase detector gain uncertainty under 1ns when using an M12+T or
