[time-nuts] generalization of three cornered hat

I found a lot of references to estimating the uncertainties in measurements derived with three cornered hat. What about for arbitrary N sources and N(N-1)/2 pair-wise measurements? There must be some magic term to search for. ___ time-nuts

Mark, When you refer to "30 dBc", what is that? Is it the eb/n0 value? If so, with the XLi's behavior as you report it, your scheme would fail over most of the useful signal range. And, it will probably differ from setup to setup of the HW, depending on all the parameters that have already
