Further evaluation did shown the time differences between the 3 GPS
modules was due to difference in the trigger level setting of the
timer/counter and difference in length of GPS antenna cables.
After removal of the phase drift due to Rb frequency offset the attached
image shows the phase differences of the 3 modules versus a Rb reference.
The two ATGM modules are very consistent over a 2.8 hours period. The
NEO-7M varies wildly with phase errors above 100 ns. Possibly due to a
somewhat less optimal antenna position.
It seems phase variations over time in the order of 10-20 ns are indeed
unavoidable, even with a good antenna.
