Hi fellow time-nuts,
sorry for keeping quiet after having dropped my question. I was busy travelling
an since yesterday our booth at the IMS2016/MTT keeps me busy too.
I will answer to the various comments as soon as I got some more quiet minutes.
I look forward to see many time-nuts this afternoo

However the value of the second time constant in the active PI filter required
to achieve reasonable damping will be around 1600 seconds. This corresponds to
an active PI filter proportional gain of 16.

When comparing a 10MHz OCXO divided down to 1Hz with a GPS PPS signal, the
effective VCO gain (Ko/N) is likely to be around 6E-7 rad/s/V (eg HP10811A) and
the phase detector gain around 1V/rad. Consequently a PLL loop bandwidth of
100uHz only requires an Integrator time constant of around 100 s

If you want an "existence proof" for a simple, mostly analog, a few digital
counters, no software or microprocessor GPSDO, look at the "Miller" GPSDO.
He designed it for his own use, then put it into production because of
demand for a simple, cheap GPSDO. It has been characterized, and works
well
Hi
Ok, so how would you do a pure analog GPSDO?
The GPS receiver and that side of it are what they are. I’ll assume that you
have a 1 pps out of a module.
Your OCXO needs to get to 1 Hz via dividers. You can do that with digital
dividers or with a chain of regenerative
dividers. One is a bi

Hi Chris,
Many GPS/1PPS receivers don't output sawtooth information and yet they work
really
Hi
No, there is no purely analog way to access the sawtooth information. If you
restrict yourself
to “pure analog” then the PPS will be bopping around by +/- 10 to +/-20 ns each
second. Put
another way, you start out with 1 to 2x10^-8 at 1 second. The same thing is
true at 10 KHz or
at any oth

If you can build with small scale TTL gates you can save the need for
a huge precision capacitor by storing the current EFC value in a
16-bit register/counter. This 16-bit register drives a DAC. Then
you build a phase detector that can detect if the XO leads or lags the
GPS. If it leads you inc

How do you measure "simple"? Do you count the chips and the passive
components or do you count lines of code? Or maybe you draw a block
diagram and count the blocks and the number of interconnections?
If you count chips the design with the micro controller wins by a long shot
But if you count l

Hoi Bernd,
Is there any special reason for this endavour or are you just courious
what can be done?

Hi
Of course it’s possible, you simply need enough high quality film capacitors to
make up the control loop integrator.
You probably also would use a pile of the same capacitors to slow down the PPS
jitter a bit before it went into the loop.
The setup process would probably involve a bunch of
