Are we not overdoing it. 7E-13 for $15 KISS, and if you want to go beyond

Looking right now at 1 E -14, I do se temperature influences, with my heat
sink stable to .1 C. Mainly due to the fact that is only one side of the
unit and it is clearly designed to use all sides for heat dissipation.
Technical question, how does one measure 1E-14 changes in frequency?
I'm thinking about building a controller and of course you can't
control what you can't measure. But at that small level what do you
use for a reference?
Your other sources. Seriously..
Of course, the man who has two clocks doesn't know what time it is.
If you have 3 sources, you can do three cornered hat type measurement
comparisons, for instance.
Typically, you might have clocks of various kinds. For instance, a nice
quiet quartz oscillator has great phase noise, but does drift with time
and temperature. So you could use that to measure the phase noise of
something with not so hot performance.
