Hallo Said, the M12+'s pps jitter has a strong frequency component at a repetion rate of 2 s. This component has a peak to peak value of 2-4 ns and is almost unseen in the raw pps values. It is, however, clearly to be seen if you manage to compute the sawtooth corrected pps values.
What you see in the PRS10 output is simply a feedthrough of this frequency component, even with natural pll time constants of some hours or so. While i do not own a PRS10 myself, i use exactly the same software algorithms as the PRS10 including the pre-filter in my GPSDO (FRK-L or LPRO or FTS-1200 or HP10811 against M12+) and i come to very close results regardless which local oscillator i use. The bump gets smaller with higher pll time constants but you will no get rid of it completely. For a quick check, remove the M12+ pps and let the PRS10 run on its own, you should see no bump in this case.
