Re: [time-nuts] Thunderbolt Loop Damping
I am calculating plotting the ADEVs (or OADEVs) of the Thunderbolt's own PPS and OSC error estimates. The values are its estimate in the error of the PPS signal edge/OSC zero crossing to GPS time. I have queue of 22000 entries that tracks the last 22000 values of PPS and OSC errors. Every 10 seconds, it calculates and displays the ADEV or OADEVs of all the data in the queue (both a table and a plot). By the time the queue fills up it gives values out to 10,000 tau. Yeah, it's kinda flakey to rely on the device to compare its output signals to its own interpretation of GPS time, but it's free and requires no external equipment. The adding of the 1.0 second to the error estimate values (and the multiplying of the OSC ppb value by 100) was to simulate the values that an external time interval counter would produce if it was measuring the signals. Not really needed, but the code was lifted from another application and it was useful for doing some comparisons to some existing data.

Not really needed, but the code was lifted from another application and it was useful for doing some comparisons to some existing data. (BTW, the ADEV code was based upon your ADEV1.C) I'm still confused and now also worried. The time interval values that adev1.c takes as input are very small numbers, like microseconds or nanoseconds. These are time *interval* measurements, as one would obtain when comparing the 1PPS of a reference against the 1PPS of a GPSDO. At best there is no need to add a fixed constant to these numbers. Note that the adev code will effectively eliminate a constant phase bias. But at worst, adding a constant that is millions or even billions of times greater than your data can cause floating point loss of precision errors. So keep the numbers small; think time error measurements, not time measurements. Second, use ADEV1 only on time interval or phase data. If you have frequency data you need to change the tool, or integrate frequency error back to phase error before you run the tool. /tvb ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
Re: [time-nuts] Thunderbolt Loop Damping
I do modify the OSC ppb value to morph it into nanoseconds of error before I feed it to the ADEV code (at least I think I do... the documentation is not really clear on what the value really is). The constant 1 second offset that I added to the data makes absolutely no difference in the results (I tried it both ways). It was just there for consistency with another program that I have. The Trimble numbers are 32 bit floats, my 1 second offset number is a 64 bit double, it can handle the value just fine without losing any precision. The ADEV code subtracts pairs of values, so that constant value gets removed automatically (and to quell your concerns, I have removed it from the code). As far as what the statistics are showing... well they show the ADEV values of the Thunderbolt's own measurements of the signal errors (auto ADEV?). How those compare to measurements against an external reference is left as an exercise to the reader. The curves do seem to make some sense. I am seeing curves with distinct breaks in the slope at points that correspond to slope changes in your Thunderbolt ADEV plots. The main difference is below around 50 tau where a normal adev curve shows rising values then begins to fall. The plots on the Thunderbolt data show constantly falling adevs with distinct breaks in the slope. If the numbers were totally meaningless one would expect to see a line of constant slope as tau increases. Past 50 tau or so, the ADEV values seem to agree with what one would expect. _ The i’m Talkaton.

What you're calculating is the combined ADEV of the GPS ref, the internal measurement system, including internal any filtering, and the OCXO. Your numbers can't show GPS, or the measurement system, or the OCXO by themselves, nor do your numbers reflect the actual GPSDO output signal performance as compared to a real reference clock. That's why it sort of looks like what you have left as an exercise to the reader is pretty much the entire exercise. Do have access to a Rb that you can use as a reference? Send me email offline if you'd like to borrow one. Still, one thing you could do now is see the effect of varying the loop time constant. With a tight loop the sdev or adev of TI and ppb will be very small; the looser the loop the wider the variance of those values.

Re: [time-nuts] Z3801A ThunderBolt USING SAME ANTENNA?
If the cable is long enough, the discontinuities brought by using a BNC connector should not be too much of a problem, unless you are trying to extract the very last ounce of performance from the Thunderbolt. A long cable will have significant attenuation, and that will absorb most of the reflections caused by the impedance mismatch and bring them down to the noise level. This subject has been covered at length not very long ago (a few months?), so a look through the archives might bring back the thread. You might want to read the Thunderbolt manual to get Trimble's official position on the subject. Trimble has done a good job of confusing people by specifying their equipment for 50 ohm operation but recommending 75 ohm cable and using F connectors on the Thunderbolt and the Bullet antenna. I surmise that for the Thunderbolt's intended application (cell site synchronization), the difference was not worth worrying about. For the true Time-Nuts, that may not be good enough.

Jeff Jeff A conservative approach would be to use a cable that has an attenuation of no more than 10dB (the attenuation of the cable supplied in the Trimble Thunderbolt starter kit). For standard RG58 this can mean no more than about 30ft. This only applies if the antenna preamp gain is similar to that of the Trimble bullet antenna. _Minimum Antenna gain for Thunderbolt_ http://trl.trimble.com/docushare/dsweb/Get/Document-30908/Product Bullentin 200213.pdf http://trl.trimble.com/docushare/dsweb/Get/Document-30908/Product%20Bullentin%20200213.pdf Above link specifies a minimum of 20dB gain at Thunderbolt input. Thus with 23 dBattenuation (cable plus active splitter) you would need to use an antenna with at least 43dB gain preferably a little more. With 10dB of cable attenuation and 3dB maximum splitter loss the antenna preamp gain should be at least 33dB. The 5V Bullet III antenna has 35dB gain and thus allows a maximum attenuation (cable plus splitter) of about 15dB, preferably a little less, when used with a Thunderbolt. GPS Timing antennas with higher gains (50dB) are available.

Re: [time-nuts] Thunderbolt Power Question
An earlier question concerned whether the Thunderbolt could be put into battery backup mode without the -12V supply. The definitive answer is NO! The Thunderbolt OCXO is controlled via a DAC voltage that can range from -5V to 5V (the standard oscillator control is -5Hz/V. All mine are operating at around 0.35V). The -5V DAC reference depends upon the -12V input supply. Also the Thunderbolt monitors all three supply voltages and it will throw a critical alarm condition when any are out of whack. _ Use video conversation to talk face-to-face with Windows Live Messenger. http://www.windowslive.com/messenger/connect_your_way.html?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_Refresh_messenger_video_072008 ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
