It seems that we're all trying to find the most obstuse way to obtain

multiply the 10MHz input signal by 3 and feed the resulting 30MHz
signal to any suitable divider by 500000 chain? the result will be
nice, spectrally pure and even 50.000% duty cycle :).
To multiply the frequency means weird RF circuitry to start off. If you
start off with the 10 million HZ and divide, you only get better as any
phase jitter gets lost in the division. As you divide far enough, the
phase jitter gets to those "leap pulse" jitters. To design around the
problem of Rb (my bad about Rb versus Ru) movements you have to have a
second one ready to start once the original goes bad. This will occur
with a cesium movement, like a good Agilent 5071A cesium movement every
bit as well A fun question is why Rb movements are so common but Cs
movements are rare and expensive.
