Tom,

I have a machine-translated PDF (~2.5MB), but nowhere to put it up. If you have web space for it, please feel free to do so (assuming that Karen does not object).

I have reservations about the potential of any Miller-style GPSDO, because using an analog PLL essentially guarantees that the crossover to GPS will be at a tau orders of magnitude lower than it should be -- the Miller unit crosses over about 3 OOM too low (see attached plot, from <http://www.leapsecond.com/pages/gpsdo/>).

The beloved Thunderbolt also crosses over about 2.5 OOM too early, if you use the factory loop settings (id.). But it has an ADPLL with adjustable parameters, so a time nut can tune the loop for best performance with the particular OCXO in the unit. (See <http://www.ke5fx.com/tbolt.htm>.)

Best regards,

Charles
