I've got a raw wideband GPS capture, dual frequency L1/L2, on this page about my GPS/GNSS front-end board project: http://pmonta.com/blog/2012/06/04/gnss-firehose/ I plan to do a new spin of this board with some minor improvements as soon as I have the time. (For those who want to build the

Hi John, It's not off-topic at all. Thanks for posting. Someday it would be cool if an amateur precise time project emerged from this effort. What is not clear from your link is the accuracy or stability of the LO that was used. It seems to me, for timing purposes, that one would want to have

Tom, John, Wouldn't the software be able to remove any LO instability by simple cross correlation error cancellation by all the carrier phases? After all carrier phase measurements are concerned with relative phase delays, not absolute offsets? In other words the LO and ADC phase errors

For our timing niche, SDGPS (Software-Defined GPS) doesn't even need to be real-time. It's the after-the-fact corrections to the LO that are of interest. Can you elaborate the after-the-fact corrections to the LO point? I understand that: I can correct the LO after a sample cycle, then use the
