A Day in the Life of Five PPS Sources..

This probably does not qualify as a regular TimeNuts submission as there
are no Tau's or 10^-12ths but I could not resist a simple scope capture of
the Pulse Per Second output of my new SSR-6t toy from Synergy Systems as it
performed its first right-out-of-the box site survey.

See http://youtu.be/kOG9ImT2lvY

This is video is a two minute replay of the PPS behavior of two PRS-10s,
two TBolts, and the SSR-6t during it's initial 24 hour site survey.

A good illustration. You realize that the T-bolts follow each other fairly well, as can be expected. The PRS-10s also follow each other fairly well. The variation between them could be speculated on, but first suspect would be multipath and satellite geometry. When having bad receiving conditions, the position moves around a lot, and loosing or gaining a bird could drastically change the geometry conditions and hence precision. For the T-bolts, these variations only go out to phase changes.

If you would log the sat positions and tracking status alongside these deviations you might get a better feel for these effects.

Also, the T-bolts avoids the sawtooth dance by steering the 10 MHz clock.

Cheers,
Magnus
