Just heated, it show of like hell at 100 ms and 1 s. But that quites down quite quickly. I just wanted to make the point that it was not to be suspected as being a main part of the noise. > > Infact, the GPS is worst of all these sources!!! > > > > I am quite sure that a 10 s measure would should the GPS even more > > infavourable. > > Correct (as it should) and even worse at 100 s and maybe > even 1000 s. But beyond an hour of averaging time your > Z3801A will start to shine. It does track, but it tracks badly. Infact, it tracks so badly that it goes out of lock regularly!!! That when there is 5-6 sats being tracked and even a bunch more visible above my 10 degrees. > See typical Z3801A ADEV plot: > > http://www.leapsecond.com/museum/z3801a/log8286v.gif I suspect mine to be worse. If I where to make a similar measurement I would have to do some automation that I haven't time. I have got a few good advices and hints about what may be wrong. Measuring the clock with the EFC unhooked and grounded is one of my approaches that is comming right up.
