I hope this post is considered appropriate, if not please let me know and accept my advance apologies. I have several NI PCI GPIB cards that are surplus to my requirements. I was intending to put them on Ebay but thought I would offer them here first. These are the older style and were

No because the GPS receiver takes into account the signals from more than one satellite. What matters is the relative phase of these signals as they reach the antenna. The relative phase of these signals does not change as the signals go down the cable. The delay in the cable is inconsequential as

I think this may have been pointed out already but the altitude reported by the T'bolt is the WGS84 altitude, which is not at all the same as the altitude on your USGS map. If you look up WGS84 in wikipedia you will find a better explanation of that than I could ever give. Some of the gps

Hi, Hadley, That ties with what I've figured out so far, thanks. There you have it, folks: MCX connector. And that makes sense based on the measurements I took with calipers as well (about 4.5mm outside diameter). Happy tweaking. *** REPLY SEPARATOR

The relationship between phase noise and Allan variance is a complex one and was described in papers at FCS in 1976 and 1978 by my previous manager Mike Fischer (then of HP). I think these papers come closest to answering your question. Rick Karlquist Jeff Mock wrote: This is a half-baked idea
