Re: [time-nuts] GPS 1 PPS accuracy limits

Hi Does accuracy include temperature change over -55 to +85 C at a 1 C / minute rate? Is accuracy measured after a 5 minute cold start at any temperature? Does accuracy include a contribution internal to the synthesizer (like DDS step size)? Is accuracy simply where we set it when we shipped

Hi Magnus, Life speed, what does accuracy mean? Average (rms, 1-Sigma) frequency accuracy? If yes, over what time frame is the average? Or is this the peak to peak allowable deviation? Over what temperature range, and after how long of a warmup? To give you an example, a typical Fury
