Greetings, I have been reading what I can find on Rubidium and GPSDO approaches, but there are some fine points that do not make it clear which is the best 'bang for the buck' solution. My requirement/desire is to have a 10 MHz standard for my lab that I can trust to an accuracy of 7 decimal places (10 ppb?), so anything that is good to a few ppb is certainly adequate for what I am looking for. I have a OCXO unit that is voltage adjustable - for example, adjusting this to 10.0000000 MHz per my HP 5334A requires -12.71V.
So the simple (maybe) question is, should I go for a Rubidium disciplined unit, or go with a home-brew GPSDO solution using the Vectron OCXO I already have? My main cause of confusion is ignorance concerning all the GPS solutions out there with 1pps outputs, to use in a GPSDO, and which ones jitter too much to be useful (solutions under $50 exist). Thanks in advance.
