Remember, that if you have 4 receivers you get X, Y, Z and T of the source, and in this case T will be the phase-drift of the rocket. So, if logged with sufficient precision, the stability of the on-board clock may not become as important as the fact that it is there and has reasonably good phase-noise. That however, might be an issue for sounding-rockets, but can be addressed to some degree by mounting.

Cheers,
Magnus

Some crystal oscillators specify their sensitivity to G forces.

Others specify shock and vibration limits but say nothing about
frequency stability.

The biggest problem I see is the crystal oscillator in the rocket is
going to notice the G forces during acceleration in a pretty big way.


But all of the ground stations will see the same frequency shift on the
rocket's transmitter.   I think this can be backed out in processing.

Someone needs to write the equations and post them here.
