Oh my, you're absolutely right... I've totally missed out those few lines! Now I understand. I apologize and go immediately to search for a Tbolt. A similar design is the ConnorWinfield/NavSync FTS125 but instead of disciplining an OCXO they use a 20MHz fixed OCXO (without EFC) to drive the GPS engine and then phaselock a 10MHz OCXO with a standard PLL (LMX2306 or something like that). The PPS isn't derived from the disciplined OCXO but from the GPS engine itself and has the typical jitter (better, because of the ovenized 20MHz, but some jitter is present). By means of an NCO a 10MHz is derived from the GPS engine to clock the PLL to phaselock the 10MHz OCXO. The heart of the FTS125 is the CW25 GPS receiver.
