Hi Mark, good job. Have you made an analysis of the results and made some considerations about the parameters you have measured? Luciano Da "time-nuts" time-nuts-boun...@lists.febo.com A "time-nuts@lists.febo.com" time-nuts@lists.febo.com Cc Data Sun, 9 Dec 2018

[time-nuts] Comparing the performance of 17 different GPSDOs

2018-12-08 Thread Mark Sims
I recently completed some comparison tests of the PPS and 10 MHz outputs of 17 different GPSDOs. The tests were done with a TAPR TICC time interval counter running in timestamp mode and the data was acquired and processed with Lady Heather. The TICC was clocked by a HP-5071A cesium beam
