i have one which I bought new several years ago. It had a failure under
warranty where in the serial chip stopped doing its thing. The unit continued
to lock to SVs and delivered 10MHz and the PPS. Took almost two months to be
returned, where it worked fine until very recently. Same issu

Hi John,
That repair cost is enough to steer me away from buying one. I have a
mediocre view of the sky with my current antenna setup.
I'll continue on and research some additional possibilities for a GPSDO
unit. Thanks for sharing your experience with the Thunderbolt E unit.

The HP Journal article (page 20 March 1981 issue) on the 10811A agrees with Bob.
It also points out that the lack of activity dips due to coupled modes and a
much smaller dependence of the frequency on the signal level are advantages of
the SC cut compared to the AT and BT cuts.

Hi
Here’s the gotcha with what they are talking about. The SC when done as a
*fundamental* crystal has a higher Q than the AT. You don’t use fundamental
mode SC’s in a normal OCXO.
The issue with Q relates very specifically to the sort of HC-40 package AT
resonators
you *would* use for maximum
Hello,
A TEC is good if you want to maintain the resistors at 25ºC, that seems
the zero TC point for some precision low TCR resistors (for example, the
Vishay VFCP or VSMP series)

Thanks.
Is anybody monitoring a Galileo-only setup to see how far off the timing
drifts?

Airlines tend to have issues with various battery types as well. Not clear
what the rules are on “powered up in the hold” are. My guess is that ground
transportation gets the nod pretty quickly.
TEC’s are good for some limited temperature delta and then you need to go to

I built this website as my senior design project last year, unfortunately
there's no timing data (except for tdop) being logged but you can see the
impact. Data is collected with four ublox m8n receivers, one per
constellation.

The “thermoelectrc chamber” in that paper *is* the gizmo. There is / was a

diving into the unit in a bit more detail. Even that did not get down to issues
like the controller,
the driver, or the power consumption. Indeed one wonders if there is a giant

Hi
Ok, if it’s a “heat only” design, how about a dewar flask? They aren’t the most
rugged items
out there so some sort of padded enclosure would be needed. The real question
is:
Does a “single end” design impact your ability to use the resistor? Put another
way - do you need
to hit both ends o
Looking at the data it seems that GPS is the best system among the four,
correct?

Hi Luciano,
Yes this is typically the case. GPS is the most reliably good system
currently. When the Galileo system is working nominally and the geometry
over our antenna is good (remember, the constellation is not yet complete),
the single frequency performance easily rivals GPS. BeiDou will like
