I have a design which locks a high performance 10MHz OCXO to a 10MHz source which should work equally well with the LEA5, or any source of 5 or 10MHz.
I designed it for use with a distributed factory GPS reference which has picked up noise, hum and phase modulation, in order to deliver a high quality but GPS locked reference direct to equipment. The design adds nearly three orders of improvement. Essentially it divides the incoming 10MHz by 16384 and compared the phase with a similar division from the OCXO, within an ATTiny2313 micro. The phase detector is a D-flip-flop type implemented in software (in interrupts), and it delivers a locked reference with ADev around 10e-12 for Tau between 1s and 20s. The micro also keeps a real time clock and does various background monitoring and telemetry tasks. There is PC monitoring software as well. There are only four chips in the design. While I can't share the code (belongs to my employer), the idea is simple enough and I could share the schematic. Eight of these units have been built. I used the excellent Rakon STP2402E OCXO.
