Hello time-nuts community, thanks to your feedback and that of others, I could make additional progress on my journey to understand powerlaw noise :) I would like to reiterate what I have learned so far. Please comment on anything that you think is done wrong.

Hello Magnus, I'm sorry, but I can't follow you here. I know that time deviation values and fractional frequency values are related via integration, so I think I understand the third line. But I don't know what is meant especially with the first one: What is d(t)? What is D? Is this the

Wolfgang, Remember to scale the double-integral right: d(t) = D y(t) = integrate(d(t),t) = y_0 + Dt x(t) = integrate(y(t),t) = x_0 + y_0*t + D/2*t^2 Did you miss the 1/2 factor somewhere? That would make sense for the Random Walk phase noise. Cheers, Magnus On 03/09/2015 04:57 PM, Wolfgang

Hi The use of femtoseconds come from the AVAR it's self. It was originally defined by time domain people. It's delineated by a Tau dimensioned in seconds. The time domain noise that's 1x10^-12 or 1x10^-15 down at one second does indeed have units of 1x10^-12 or 1x10^-15 seconds. As with any

Second thought, look at the tau=1 to 10 s and you see that it first rises before the usual slope. This is the effect of averaging in the counter. I would suspect that a HP53132A is being used. Magnus, You're correct about averaging effects; for example, see:
