You shouldn't use your phase locked loop to correct this sort of 1,000ppm error. You should calibrate it out before you start. Note that, if you only let ntpd use its PLL algorithms, its response to this sort of error is very poor. With ntpd you would really need to ensure it does a frequency calibration, in which it waits about 15 minutes without correcting frequency and looks at the total drift, then instantaneously applies a total correction for that drift. Phase lock loops are good at tracking slow variations in remote frequency/compensating for slow variations in local frequency, but they are not good at getting initial lock, unless you sample very fast. (A pure hardware PLL would sample at 44.1kHz, in this case, but you presumably have network jitter and packetisation effects that compromise your ability to do this. Even with fast true phase locking at the signal frequency, PLLs that have to change frequency generally have a fast acquisition mode, before they enter the tracking mode. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
